May 10, 201213 yr I have the Mirrycycle on my Eagle. Very pleased with it, works really well and provides a surprisingly good view rearwards. The previous one I tried was a Halfords one that firstly would not fit inside the bar end, and was complete rubbish anyway as the fitting mechanism snapped off. The Mirrycyle is wonderful and fits in 5 minutes.
May 10, 201213 yr I bought a Mirrycle (with the discount from Evans) on the strength of the recommendations in this thread, and fitted it yesterday, but, due to the p*ssing rain, have not been able to try it out yet... Seems pretty good, though. Edited May 10, 201213 yr by bode
May 10, 201213 yr I have also fitted a Mirrycycle, to make it as neat as possible, I glued a one pence piece to the end of the grip, then used a Swann Morton #4 handle with a #26 blade and cut round the one pence piece. A bit over the top....

A bit over the top.... I suppose you could have adopted a "no expense spared" approach and used a 5p piece!

May 10, 201213 yr Or....if the jobs worth doing..it's worth doing well......... ... with due regard to economy? OK; I give in ... you win!
May 11, 201213 yr I have also fitted a Mirrycycle, to make it as neat as possible, I glued a one pence piece to the end of the grip, then used a Swann Morton #4 handle with a #26 blade and cut round the one pence piece. A bit over the top....I found that it was sufficent to stick the point of a Stanley knife through the middle of the end of the grip and then just use the inside of the handlebar as a cutting guide. Any slightly ragged edges are hidden by the flange of the mirror mount.
May 20, 201312 yr Saneagle's just got one of these mirrors from Halfords for about £15, which is the best mirror I've ever seen by far. It's a Zefal Cyclops. You can also get them from other places a bit cheaper, but make sure you get the double-jointed version. I think some are single-jointed. It has slightly convex glass for good viewing, and easily adjusts to any angle. The best thing is that it folds completely out of the way for getting your bike through narrow spaces (door-ways) because of it's double-joints, and when folded out, it sticks out a long way for a clear view past your elbow. http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/General%20bike/mirror2_zps27a004c2.jpg http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq236/d8veh/General%20bike/mirror_zpsb10b027a.jpg
May 20, 201312 yr I have never had an accident, but I have seen plenty in my rear view mirror........

One is £10+ and the other £7+ both say they fold but dont mention a double joint. I wouldnt want to get the wrong one and Im presuming it will fit my Tonaro ? Lynda
May 21, 201312 yr I could scramble an egg on that floor, at least eighty percent of garages that i've are used as a junk or storage room and I'm talk about houses up in Beverly Hills:p Mountainsport
