    We stock this one by Ultralite - Made in Germany, it is light, all plastic but very sturdy. Watched one of our friends do a full impact crash right onto his mirror and it just hinged as he landed, repositioned and he was off and running. Have had a few people say they wanted the arm to be longer but I don't know where they were attempting to mount on their handlebar.

    I have one of these on each of my road bikes. I like them very much.

    I have this mirror. It does easily take whacks. Nothing is perfect but it has worked better for me than the little mirror that you stick at the end of your drop bars. I kept knocking it out when I would put my bike in the car or wherever.

    I am a huge fan of Mirrycle mirrors! I recently bought both their road mirror (fits on STI brifters 2009 and earlier) and mountain mirror. Never have I used such a stable, clear, high-quality mirror. In the past I've used both Take-a-Look (glasses-mounted) mirror and the ultra-lightweight German mirror, but neither come close to Mirrycle. They really are a miracle!
