Hafny Handlebar Bike Mirror, Stainless Steel Lens, Bicycle Mirror, Safety Reflector, E-bike Mirror, Cycling Mirror, HF-MR081

Mirrors look good standing still,but shake while riding.

We ordered both a left and right mirror for our new ebike. When they arrived, the right side mirror had the correct mount, but the incorrect mirror. I emailed the company at the email address listed on the product package, and they responded within a day. The company immediately send the correct part and we now have both mirrors installed and love them. It is refreshing to actually be able to connect with a company that supports their customers and stands behind their products. Well done, Hafny!As for the mirrors themselves, we are very pleased. Each mirror has a reflector that sits high on the bike, allowing oncoming vehicles to better see the bike. The mirror surface produces an image as clear as a traditional glass mirror, but is much less likely to break. The mirrors can be adjusted easily, but remain in place when riding. Even on our ebike, with no suspension, the image does not shake or blur. Having a mirror-image, matched pair looks great on the bike.The only consideration is mounting space. Our bike has somewhat large ebike controls and brake lever mounted directly next to the hand grip. That moves the mirror mount fairly far inboard. On the opposite side, the shifter, hand brake, and bell are mounted next to the hand grip, forcing the mirror mount closer to the stem. This puts the rider's arms partially in the field of view of the mirror. It works fine, but another centimeter of length on the mounting arms would be my only suggestion for improvement. On a traditional bike, this would probably not be an issue.You can see the mount and reflectors in the attached pictures.

First impressions: the Hafny mirror is a well made (Taiwanese) product, a step above many of the competing low priced mirrors on Amazon. Installation was a snap: install the clamp on your handlebars, insert the mirror shaft, and tighten. With included shims it should fit handlebars from 21-26 mm. The mirror height and angle are easily adjustable with a ball joint and Allen screw, and the mirror could be placed above or below the handlebar, depending on personal preference. The oval shape gives somewhat better coverage than the usual round mirror. (The mirror I purchased is designed for left side mount but another model is available for right side use.) The only caveat is that for good vision it is important to install the mirror's mounting clamp as close to the grip as possible. It will work best therefore on straight mountain bike type handlebars but the shaft is long enough for cruiser bars as well. However, this mirror design seems to vibrate more on rough pavement than the mirrors that inserted in the bar ends. Another advantage of this type of mirror is being able to avoid cutting a hole in the end of your handlebar grip.

I have two of these and am using them on ebikes. They work great, stay in place with good hardware and I can see around easily but I am not a big person and I realize there's complaints from people whose bodies are too big to see around but just know that Hafny is really good. The variety of adjustments are excellent with very little loosening if you adjust them a lot but they can be tightened with supplied hex wrenches at any time.

both mirror stems (2) broke at about the same time after repeated tightening to stabilize the mirror - this is not a robust setup

These are very really good mirrors and not made with thin cheap plastic that vibrate and rattle when you ride around. Those kind of mirrors make it impossible to see anything behind you. These mirrors are just solid and you can see what's behind you clear as day. I have them installed on my Lectric XP 2.0 ebike and it makes riding around so much safer. When you got ebikes that can do 20mph+ it's a must to have really good quality mirrors.

I bought this mirror for my road bike, because most of the roads in my part of Louisiana do not have a shoulder. Cyclists need eyes in the back of their head. Unfortunately the clamp for this mirror is far too small to fit my road bike bars. I would have had to cut away the tape. Instead I put the mirror on my hybrid commuter bike. I rode with it with the mirror for the first time today, and it was great. It provides a very good view of the road behind you so that you see approaching cars as well as the whole context of the background. Up to this time I have been using a mirror that fits on my helmet, but it is not as good.

Some bike mirrors make you cut a hole in your handle grip to install. I wanted one that clamped onto the handlebar, so I didn't have to ruin my grip. This mirror accomplished that goal. It is fairly sturdy and highly adjustable. The field of view is small, but it's an acceptable tradeoff for its sleek size. It wasn't the easiest to install. I third person to hold it in place while you fiddle with the screws is recommended. I like that it has a little reflector on the non-mirror side. Weird, but I just do.
