I bought one of these two years ago and bought another after purchasing a new bike recently. There are many rear view mirrors available and how they each fit our individual requirements and taste will vary. This convex mirror works well for me and gives me sufficient warning of vehicles approaching from the rear. I found it was better with the bracket position/angled down from the end of the handlebar rather than upwards as shown in the pictures as my forearm was partially blocking the view when the bracket was angle upwards. The mirror was easy to fit and it fitted firmly. There is a tightening screw for the mirror itself and this worked well. There are no sharp edges on the plastic.

I am VERY deaf and disabled and need a cycle mirror to see who is coming up behind me. I like riding the local English country lane's however there are a lot of 4 X 4 and ordinary drivers who travel the lanes at stupid speeds so I need to be aware of their approach from behind! I have 'Bar Ends' on my Dahon Vitesse 8 speed folding cycle and the fixing that is intended to go into the handlebar end now goes into the Bar End that rears upwards! This means my mirror is at least 10" above my handlebar and gives me a WONDERFULL view of the road behind me! This mirror will keep you alive! I do not really understand why some persons on here have given this mirror one star...its worth five stars,

I don't like not being able to glance down and see what's behind me. I've met so many cyclists who say - oh, I prefer to look around. I do that as well - the glancing is extra. You wouldn't drive a car without wing mirrors (and you're less crunched forward in a car) so why would you cycle without one? I sometimes think I should put one on the left side for those occasions when my shopping is so bulky I can't see very well to the right. I have learnt to pack tall shopping on the left though. (I live in the UK - you'd reverse that if you lived abroad).

Typical of any CatEye product, this item is well made. I have a mirror on all of my bikes for added safety and I purchase this for my new electric folding bike. I have had to keep the item further out from the handle bar, otherwise I cannot see directly behind me. With the benefit of hindsight, I should have got the on that comes out straight from the handle bar, as it would have afforded a much better view.However this item is very good value and I am really pleased with it.

I'm on my second one of these - but believe me, the first lasted almost a decade on a hard working bike so I have no complaints there. In fact I have no complaints at all.One thing to note - at first I had it pointing upwards and got a perfect view of my elbow - not the required result. Then I pointed it down so that, looking through the crook of my arm, I get the perfect view of that car/truck/whatever coming up behind me.

Bought it to keep an eye on the following traffic and to warn me when other much faster cycles zoom past me. It has really done the job, the only minor issue is that when I put my bike in the cycle racks the mirror can get moved and you need to reset it, but any more ridged would have probable snapped off... Good product, arrived on time, does the job..

Have tried other mirrors but be careful, most are flat lenses which give limited view and hard to focus with vibration.The CatEye is a convex lens like your car door mirrors and motor bike mirrors so gives a wide clear view.This is about the fourth I have had because I am clumsy. Not a reflection on the mirror, scuse the pun.

You get a good clear view of what's behind. I bought 2, one for each side. If there is a negative it's that if you knock them when you get on or off or walk with your bike, they easily move to the wrong angle, but I can't see an answer to that. Easy to fit and most anyone can do it. I would recommend.

Well made.nice wide mirrors that cover a wide area behind you whilst cycling. Make sure you tighten both the end bar screw and the screw that adjusts the angle of mirror or you will be forever adjusting them.done mine right now and perfect after cycling 100 miles on busy roads.

Fantastic fit.You can take the ends off to put in.I don’t suggest getting the wrap around ones as they don’t fit the outside and you have to put them at the thinnest end, you see your arm more.You need them in or at the end to be safe.Great mirror.Good secure fit.

I've have had a few of these and they are great. They Don't shake when your riding the only thing is to tuck it in when parked so it doesn't' t get snapped off. Had cheaper mirrors and they where rubbish and shakedso you couldn't see anything

Good construction works really well can see behind me, the only thing I don't like is if you want a left mirror it costs twice as much as the right one ?? WHY, but I,m very happy with it, But wont buy the left one at its currant price.

I have fitted it to a new bike as I have used this type of mirror for many years and it provides wide rear vision although like most mirrors they are fragile so do not let you bike fall over.

A really sound product which gives me a great view when I am on the roud as well as being compact and easily fitted. Every cyclist should invest in one of these.

Husband needed mirror for mountain bike to save pain in neck when looking back for traffic. This mirror fits the bill perfectly. Easy to fit and adjust.
