MEACHOW New Scratch Resistant Glass Lens,Handlebar Bike Mirror, Adjustable Safe Rearview Mirror, Bicycle Mirror (Blue Left Side) ME-005LB

This mirror is fantastic compared to the one it replaced. I am so glad I took a chance and bought the Meachow.My prior mirror – a 10-inch flexible arm type with (I’m guessing) a typical amount of convexity -- made it difficult to safely use for the following two reasons. (1) vehicles approaching from behind, because of the mirror’s convexity, were difficult to clearly see until they were within 50 feet and (2) the mirror vibrated so much, because of the arm’s flexibility, that I had to use my hand to steady the mirror to be able to clearly see what was behind.This Meachow mirror solved both problems making my daily 15-mile rides much safer. First, the convexity of the Meachow is less than what I believe is typical convexity so that I am able to clearly see vehicles as they approach within, I will say, 200 feet. Secondly, the Meachow’s rigid stem construction completely eliminated mirror vibration so I no longer use my hand to steady it.Mounting the mirror on my 22 mm handlebar was extremely easy, taking less than five minutes. It has a full range of adjustments that once I made them have remained steadfast.

I did about an hr research on the mirrors for my Electra Townie. I wanted something easy to install, sturdy so it’ll stay in place without much fuss and what brings me safety on the road. After considering size, sturdiness, shape of glass, no reflection on the mirror, adjustment angles and the arm length to fit my bike, enabling me to truly see what’s behind me, this mirror was the one. I got it today, installed it super fast and it fits beautifully. It makes the rides much safer and eliminates a lot of twisting and turning on my part to get feedback in the traffic behind me. I am super satisfied. My bike feels much safer and it gives a sensation of a well equipped ride. The first thing what came to my mind after trying them out was how could I ride without them up until now?? Haha I am glad I took the time researching and picked this one. Got one for each sides. I highly recommend it!

This feels sturdy and solid, and the mirror is generously wide. It also has a lot of degrees of freedom for adjustment to your comfort. However, make sure it really is what you want before you buy it.1. Like any handlebar-mounted mirror, it turns with your handlebars. If you're not used to this, it can make it difficult to use. You have to be riding straight in order for it to work. Even if you're used to a motorcycle, you may find it troublesome. Bicycles handlebars turn a lot more frequently and sharply.2. You need an exposed gap of small tubing in the right spot. My Brompton has one, my road bike does not (the tubing is too thick where exposed and I use wrapping everywhere else). This unit will NOT mount on anything but the thinnest tubing.3. Once mounted it is meant to be tightened in position and kept that way. There are no latches or quick adjustments. Everything must be done by hex wrench. All those degrees of freedom are meant to be locked down and rarely adjusted or tightened. Although I could mount the unit on my Brompton, it could not be left extended when the bike is folded. It has to be compactified for folding and then redeployed when unfolded. This requires a hex-wrench and adjustment each time, more than doubling the time it takes to fold and unfold the bicycle, and basically rendering it untenable.If none of these are issues for you, I highly recommend the unit (I say this nonsarcastically). It's hefty, solid, and I wish it worked for me.

The way my Trek handlebar is made, it has been difficult to mount a mirror to it. I was using a glasses-mounted mirror that I wire-tied to my helmet, but it required fiddly adjusting every time. It had to be adjusted while riding, which is rather dangerous for me at age 75. Plus, I really prefer a fixed mirror instead of having to turn and/or tilt my head.I tried some other handlebar mirrors, but I could not make them work. They would all block or get blocked by the shifter, brake lever or the bar end. I point my bar ends up so I can ride in a more upright position.This Meachow mirror has just enough reach that I can mount it to the right of my left handlebar grip and yet still see past everything including my arm.When I first got it, I was disappointed that it has a wide-angle mirror where I thought I read it was flat. No matter, the effect is mild enough that I don’t mind it at all.The image quality is very good as is the build quality. I’m happy again!

The media could not be loaded. Provides good vision, easy to adjust and install. Handlebar on eBay is curved and most mirrors won’t work properly with that configuration. This did.

Great mirror! Would highly recommend if in need of one.
