Bar or bike mounted mirrors

yes, I did have one woman send one back because she felt it got in the way of her hand position but that was a first for me.

I ended up with the Cycle Aware "Roadie" mainly because that's what my LBS carries. So far I'm pleased with it. It does what I wanted, which was give me an idea when there was a car or other object coming up on me. It is easy to knock out of alignment with my knee, but now that I know where the sweet spot is it's easy enough to nudge it right back.

Thanks for pointing out the Mirrycle roadie mirror, Catrin! Since my roadie is older and has STI levers, I am going to order that one. I've been using the Take a Look glasses-mounted mirror happily for many years, but since I've had to start wearing progressive lenses, I am not liking it so much with my glasses. They're just too lightweight and delicate, and as a result, the mirror is less stable and more jittery than it was. A lot of the roads here are kind of bumpy/patched as well, and I think that causes the mirror to move around a bit more.

I'm trying to figure out what type of mirror might work with the Jamis, though. With the Ergon grips/bar ends, there's not the hole that's on the end of normal flat bars. Anyone using a mirror on a mountain bike with Ergon grips successfully, and if so, what kind? I may have to deal with the Take-a-Look when I ride that bike...just not sure.
