After returning a flimsy bike mirror that cost three times as much to my local bike store, I ordered this one and am satisfied. This mirror can be positioned so it's in your line of vision, unlike the kind that insert in the end of the handlebar. It attaches securely, is easily adjustable, and doesn't need constant tightening to keep it in place.

I kept searching for the perfect bike mirror, and I finally found it! This mirror was very easy to install on my handlebars, and the angle adjusted so easily. I now ride my bike more safely since this mirror allows me to see everything behind me with just a quick glance. It is also a perfect size and does not stick out, so it won't get easily bumped. Absolutely love this mirror!

I purchased two Sunlite bicycle mirrors for our cruiser bike since the Blackburn end bar style would not work due to the cruiser handlebar configuration.

While this mirror positioned, correctly allowed me to see everything without my body obstructing, which occurs with straight type handlebars, it is cheaply made. The metal clamp is made of soft metal as I found out when the mirror continually became loose and I repeatedly tightened the clamp. As avid cyclists, we do a lot of riding, we regularly check all components on our bikes as parts do become loose over time when you ride a lot and especially on not so smooth bike paths.

Also the mirror end has an adjusting screw that I had to repeatedly tighten as well to keep the mirror in place. I noticed recently, after having this mirror for 1 year now, that the mirror would not stay tight. While I was tightening the nut next to the mirror I noticed the mirror moving off the screw.

Upon further examination the mirror arm contains a threaded end for the mirror part to screw on to the arm. The plastic piece on the mirror, which screws onto the arm, apparently became stretched or stripped inside. Thus, tightening the nut on the mirror end actually forces the mirror off the arm. This is not a long life product.

I have since looked at other bicycle mirrors that have the mirror attached to the arm differently and appear more secure--such as the mirrors Electra Bicycles sell.

My wife started biking to work to rehab a torn ACL. I ordered two mirrors for her bike. They installed in minutes and she loves the great view they give and how easy they are to adjust.

i ordered this knowing the clamp would be too weak or too bendable (thus the 4 star rating) but needed a mirror for my new bike. I solved the problem with a little bit of shelf liner (the kind that is like a waffle weave stuff, not sure what it is called) I bought a roll at the dollar store and cut off a little piece to insert under the clamp...works great, gave enough hold and thickness to allow the clamp screws to be tightened sufficiently and will keep the handle bar from scuffing up from metal touching metal. I tried to double the shelf liner strip but that made it too thick for the clamp to go around the bar so only a single ply was needed. I use this waffle weave shelf liner for all sorts of things, like a horse saddle with a slippery seat, just a piece cut to size kept me secure in the saddle. I plan on using it to secure a water bottle holder to my bike along with wire ties, because my hubby does not want to drill any holes into my new bike (see my review on Schwinn Lakeshore Cruiser Bike Pacific Women's 26-Inch) I also used wire ties to attach a bike basket to my rear bike rack rather than the screws provided and it holds very securely. So if you have a bike and like to attach things to it, like I do, I suggest wire ties, shelf liner AND several small bungee cords.

Very nice to get a well made mirror that will adjust to any position and stay there. This mirror is well made and is constructed in a way to get just the angle you'll need and is sturdy all the ingredients of a first class co. and that is what I call great sevice. Also shipping is good and fast, bye.

The mirror was a good choice for maybe a child's bike. The arm is too short and I couldn't see around my own body. I returned it for this reason.

The mirror is way too small and unstable. The pictures and description are misleading. This mirror is too short/too small/too unstable.If this is their deluxe version, I'd hate to see their regular version. Don't bother with this product.

The mirror works pretty well except that I see my arm more than anything behind me. This may just be an adjustment issue. I am still working with that. It was cheap enough that if I decide to bend the bracket it won't be a large loss if I break it. The mirror was delivered quickly and intact. The shipping was high because it was not an Amazon product.

I ordered two of these mirrors and I was hoping I wouldn't have to use the clips and that they would screw into the threaded holes on the brake lever housing of my IZIP Tricruiser. And they did! Easy to install and very easy to adjust to just the right angle. FIVE STARS!!
