I use these on my Beta, I have one each side. I'd not bother carrying a spare. They are great and due to where they mount, shouldn't fall off if you drop the bike as they will just rotate around the bar. You do need to pull the cable tie tight though and the rubber bit helps grip the bar.
Fantastic little things aren't they. Ive got to move a switch and once that's done I'll see.how much room I have left for the other mirror. I've got 2 other types to try first though.
Thanks for the review. I am looking for an extra mirror when standing up to keep track of riders behind when riding trails. Do you think this mirror will work for that?
Hi there, thanks for watching. It's a very adaptable mirror. It can be rotated up easily but it depends on your bike, bar position, riding position etc. I've used it for that purpose when standing and sitting. The optics are really clear which makes it work. Cheaper glass gives really poor visibility. I'm changing bikes soon and will be putting one on the new bike for sure.
Hello mate, no vibration at all. They are spot on. The only time it moves is when I put it in the van and I bump it. Oh and when I crashed on Sunday of course. It's not like trying to get a normal mirror back in place though. Takes a second to move it back in to position. I've got another few types of mirror to test but these are perfect for me.

The standard mirrors on my road bike are causing wind buffeting, do you think these could work as primary mirrors for a road bike?
I don't see why not. I ride the bike on the road as well off road. The glass is super clear. All bikes are different though I guess.
Any issues with these moving with vibration and bumps ?
