GREAT RIGHT AND LEFT MIRRORS! DECENT SIZE AND LENGTH!
The media could not be loaded. This has pretty Good reviews. So I thought I would take a chance and buy a pair; right and left. They come in a very hard well-structured cardboard box but instructions are minimal on the back. One of the main concerns I had about buying the mirrors is that many types were too short on the neck . The design in some of these types of mirrors do not extend even past the handlebars. However, these mirrors are about 13" from base to the tip of the farthest upper corner of the mirrors. This worked out fine for me and gave me plenty of visibility past my shoulders. The the pair of mirrors come with a wrench and two plastic inner sizing rings that fit into the mount if needed. The inner rings are premolded to split in half. So you have a choice of using the full ring or a half ring or no ring. This makes the mount adaptable to various handlebar diameters. In my case on a Lectric e-trike I only needed to use half of one of the rings for each mount. It would have been nicer to not see the screw joint from the pilot position but it still looks fair. Not a big deal once you get out riding. The back joint of the mount seems a little weak. The joint is held together by a little pin. I suspect that would break down sooner than the front joint screw but only time will tell. If I had to complain that would be the one thing that really concerns me in the future. I have pictures to show how tiny that pin is that's holding joint mount together. I suppose many of them are made this way. You can angle the necks at the base of the mount and you can swivel the mirror at the base of the head where it attaches to the neck up and down. So along either axis you can easily get the mirror to face the angle you want. Keep in mind that the elevation (height) of your handle bars also determine what you will see in the mirrors. Very low handle bars way below your eye level will determine what you will be capable of seeing through these mirrors. The swivel of the mirrors where they connect to the neck have a ball swivel and this allows for nearly a full rotation. The swivel of the neck at the base is horizontal only and swings in or out. I was able to get the angle I needed perfectly. Someone online complained that all they see is their shoulder and not the street. This is easily fixed by angling the neck away from you as the pilot and working with the mirror swivel. They have a few joints that can be tightened or loosened by the wrench that comes with it. These mirrors seem well thought out and whether tall or short they will work! The mirrors are a decent size. They are flat and not curved so you will not get any distortion. Everything is molded out of hard plastic. Perhaps nylon plastic?? Anyway, they seem pretty solid. I have a video that shows a little bit more. I took them for a spin and the angles were great, no complaints. Since I am mostly riding on paved bike pads or occasional quiet neighborhood streets, I did not get any problems with these wobbling or coming with loose. I saved a couple of bucks by just buying a pair instead of buying them separate. I think it's worth it to get the set and it gives me a little bit of added security. I do recommend them! Read more
