Customer Reviews
May not be what I needed
I have to agree that the mirror 'arm' is too short.
However, my helmet is one of the larger made.
(Bell Faction Dave Mirra Multi-Sport)
I also think I should have purchased a mirror with a larger diameter.
Since the mirror arm and mount adjustment socket-balls have such
a limited range of movement, I had a very limited choice in where
the mirror base (double-sided-sticky) could be installed.
I have to look way up and left to see the mirror, and
that might take a lot of getting used to.
Had I been able to mount it lower, it would be easier
to use (without rolling my eyes so far over).
While out riding today, I found that the mirror can be removed
from it's base. Built into the flat mounting section, there
are two little 'snaps' that hold two segments together.
While I was reaching up trying to adjust my view,
the whole thing popped off in my hand.
I snapped it back on later when we stopped for ice cream. :)
There is much more vibration ( = fuzzy vision) than
is seen in my handlebar mounted (Blackburn) mirror.
If you ride on bumpy roads a lot, forget this mirror!
If I get another one, It will be bigger and have a longer arm.
Too short, thus rendered useless...
This mirror may fit on any helmet, but the legnth is far too short to see anything. I was looking for something a little longer and wider. For the reference, my helmet is a Bell Ghisallo ('05).
Easy to Use Helmet Mirror
I was surprised to see the negative reviews of this item. I have been using a Blackburn Helmet Mirror for 4-5 years. I was only ordering a new one to go with a new helmet. I have used a third eye helmet mirror and a wire helmet mirror in the past, and find the Blackburn much easier to attach and adjust. I have been using a helmet mirror since I began serious cycling in the 1980's. Though it is much smaller than a handlebar mirror, it gives a more accurate picture of the distance of the approaching vehicle.
