Mirrors - talk to me

[DebSP]

I tried the helmet mirror but I am far sighted and the mirror was just a fuzzy blurr! I haven't found anything that works well that I like yet.

Love my helmet mirror. Wouldn't ride in town without it. I like a helmet-mount mirror specifically because I can turn my head just a little and sweep out the entire area behind me.

I'm very nearsighted and can't make out cars at all without my glasses, so the trick is to set it up so that I can see it through the very left edge of my eyeglasses. The light waves have to travel from the object to the mirror, and then to the eye. So, if a car was 100 ft behind the mirror+cyclist, the image in the mirror would look like it was 100 ft + 5 inches away to the cyclist's eye.

Another for the sunglasses mirror. If it's cloudy or dark I have clear goggles (since I don't wear glasses). It took me about 30 minutes to get used to it. My daughter didn't like it but she didn't give it 30 minutes, maybe 5 minutes. Give it a chance.

I like the sunglasses mount. Tried on the helmet, but with our wonderful chipseal, there was too much jiggling around. Once you've decided you will never get used to it, try it a couple more times. Takes the brain a while to adjust to it.

I see the "Take a Look" mirror on Amazon. Is that the one everyone is referring to? And if so, do you have the compact or normal size?

We offer the ultra lite german mirror. Is very adjustable so works on most bikes.

I love my bar-end mirror, I've no desire to attach one to my helmet. I have this one for road use. It is solid, and I've only managed to break one of them. They are inexpensive, high quality, and you can just replace the mirror itself if you break it. They do have a road bar version, but my bikes all have flat riser bars. As time goes on I use it less and less, but I doubt that I will stop using it.

This is a very good mirror. I have it on one of my bikes and like it a lot.
