Mirrycle MTB Bar End Mountain Bicycle Mirror, Black

We now have this mirror on three of our bikes. That should tell you something.This mirror does require assembly before you can mount it to the bike. It arrives totally in pieces (see second photo). The instructions warn that tightening the two larger screws can be difficult as the screws are hard to turn, and the instructions are correct. I found it easier to grab a pair of pliers and grip the end of the mirror while I was using the supplied allen key to turn the screws. Note I protected the plastic finish by using a cloth between the pliers and the mirror. If you don't use something like pliers, it will be very hard to keep hold of the mirror while you turn the screws. The instructions are also correct in that the screws will "squeal" while screwing them in. Ignore their squeals of pain and just keep screwing - it gets easier to screw as you get close to the end. Don't tighten too tight at this stage since you will need some movement to adjust the mirror once you have installed it on the bike. WIth that caveat, assembly is quick, but be sure to follow the instruction photos about where to place the 6 supplied washers. Also be careful to fully insert the allen key into the screw head because if you don't get it fully inserted, it may round out the screw head (this is also covered by the instructions.Installation onto the bike is easy. They provide two mountings blocks for different size handlebars - my bike used the smaller one.Once installed, adjust the mirror to your desired field of view and then tighten the two big screws a little just to ensure the mirror stays in place.In use, it does what a mirror is supposed to do - it provides great rearward visibility. Unlike other mirrors that are mounted inboard of the hand grips on the handlebars, these bar end mirrors provide an unobstructed rear view behind the bike. The view is so good, I feel you only need one mirror on the bike (on the left side).Overall, I feel this is very good value for money and the functionality of the mirror is great. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this mirror.

This is a pretty strong mirror. I crashed and it did not break any of the pieces, but the glass cracked. I was still able to use it until I could get home, then I replaced the mirror portion only. The mirror itself is a pretty good size compared to many others out there on the market. It seems flat to me. If it is convex, it isn't convex by very much, but it is very clear and from the handlebars it affords a wide enough view to see behind you and a second lane over besides (at least) without having things appear too small. The mount stem fits inside the handlebar end so you will need to remove the end cap or cut the end off your handlebar grip. Inside the handlebar a screw attaching the mirror goes through two cylindrical pieces that are brought together on a sliding angled mating surface. As the screw is tightened the two pieces come together and slide over each other laterally to expand inside the handle bar until snug. The mirror arm screws into a threaded mount that is slightly hard fitting so there is no need for lock washers and once snugged it will not move due to vibration. I have been able to reach out and make precise adjustments in the mirror position as needed and it always holds in that position unless I bump it or physically try to re-position it. It comes with good illustrated assembly instructions and includes the appropriate allen key for tightening the hex head screws. I have used this mirror on straight across style handle bars and cruiser-style handlebars. On cruiser-style handlebars the added benefit of the mirror is that it also holds your grip in place as sometimes the grip will slide off in your hand on a cruiser-style handlebar. Mirrycle also sells just the mirror by itself as a replacement incase the glass gets broken.

After trying two other mirrors for my Lectric e-bikes, I came upon this gem. Unlike my previous mirror purchases, this mirror is sturdy, well designed and is adjustable. It stays in place when you adjust it before each ride and folds up when storing so it’s out of the way. East to assemble with good instructions provided. The mirror is high quality. Made in the USA!!

These are great mirrors! This is my second one. They install fairly easily and securely inside the end of the handlebar. The mirror is easy to adjust and stays put once adjusted with variable adjustment tightness. The convex mirror provides ample view behind you. The only thing that some might not like is the mirror must have access to the hollow end of the handlebar tube. This generally involves cutting or drilling the handlebar grip. The grip on my new e-bike was easy to remove, after which I drilled a 3/4-inch hole through the end of the grip with a Forstner drill bit. I could have cut off the closed tip of the grip instead of drilling it, and this is what some might prefer to do. Good product!
