I've a bar-end mirror on my Trek. I had originally purchased a road-bar mirror for the LHT when it still had road bars, and was able to install it on the bar-extenders after the conversion. I lost the mirror on the way home from my ride last night
I really like the bar-end mirror on my Trek, and I could duplicate that with my current LHT configuration. It was a pain to put it together though - it took more strength than my hands have and had to get help putting it togetherThe arthritis in my hands is quite minor, but for things like this it does cause problems.
That being said, I was wondering how easy it is to use helmet mirrors. I do like the size of the bar-end mirror, and I will likely go that route with the new bike but this does provide an easier set-up. I am used to a mirror and don't want to take my explorer to the road without a mirror of some kind. I do NOT have a neck like an owl![]()
