What do you get for £1.88 these days?

[tommie]

Well actually quite a nice little mirror,

not one of those massive lollipop things that get in the way of everything

does all you`d want it to do, tilts, folds over when not in use. Fits into standard bars a treat.

And if you break it, so what, order another!!

A used VW diesel?

It looks good for the money so I've just ordered one. Thanks for the link.

I use one and it's great. I keep mine tucked under the handle grip. If you find it starts to vibrate then take the rotating bit apart and stick a blob of bluetack in there, then position where you want it and it will be held in place. That's kept mine solid for a few months now.

That looks good,I was just about to go and look to see if it would fit with the grips av got on but your wee picture saved me getting off my arse cause you've got the same grips fitted

Best not to overtighten, just enough so you can adjust when your riding.

Also don`t expect delivery in a couple of days, it`s £1.88 so you don`t get FedEx!! Must say its hard to see where the profit is in this?!

Anyway i`ve ordered another couple just to have.

They are what they are , cheap & plastic.
I used a pair about 18 months ago eventually they broke and they needed regular tightening up, however they worked quite well.

Is the mirror convex or flat?

 

[tommie]

flat.

I don`t like guessing.

 

[Deleted member 4366]

Flat doesn't give a decent view, does it?

 

[Gubbins]

The mirrycle takes some beating. Just don't like cutting the end off of the grips

 

[tommie]

Convex will bring more into view but as you know at the expense of distortion, its too difficult to judge where and how fast that car is coming, also the position of where it is. The mirror has an adequate field of vision to see whats coming up behind you.

Your always going to look over your shoulder anyway if you see anything there

I know it's expensive but stopped worrying about behind when I bought the garmin radar

Thanks for the share.
Just ordered one for the wife. I have a rear view on my bike and over the holidays in Norfolk my wife could see the full benefit especially, when the family were all together cycling in a line.
It's a no brainer at that price, however there's some import tax to pay on top I guess?

 

[tommie]

No import tax, value too small i reckon

Yes the screen is flat and gives a good enough view to let me know something is approaching, when it gets close I can hear it anyway to judge how close/any action required. I don't need it so clear to know what it is and I have rarely looked over my shoulder since fitting it. Riding a bike without one now I'm always looking over my shoulder. I see you get 5% discount if you order 2 as well.
