Cyclop

UPDATE: Its been a few months since the replacement mirror arrived and I'm happy to say it's perfect. The first one was missing a screw, hence it's instability, but the replacement is an excellent mirror. I've been cycling several times a week often across rough ground and it stays in position and does exactly what it's supposed to. Highly recommended. This mirror would be perfect if it stayed in position! Sadly the one I received has a loose hinge, causing it to dangle uselessly rather than point to where it should. It was easy to put together and fit perfectly in the end of my mountain bike handlebars. Within seconds of fitting it the mirror had dropped from pointing out at 90 degrees to pointing at the floor at 180 degrees, rendering it useless. I kept manually adjusting it during my ride and when it was in the correct position it worked really well. I could easily fix the problem with some strong tape, but I shouldn't have to. I'll be returning the item and have ordered a replacement, so I will update once I've received it. Hopefully the new one will stay put and get a glowing review!

These bar-end mirrors are never perfect (not the mirrors fault - it’s the fact they’re attached to your wobbly, moving handle bars); but better having one than not. Dead easy to fit, decent build-quality and with a great field of view thanks to the triple adjustment. Can see the dreaded ‘White Van Man’ behind me without too much fiddling. Mounted on my electric bike, it’s kinda rock-steady (once it’s adjusted) even over bumps and holds its angle perfectly. The mirror stays clear and gives excellent visibility in traffic. Simple, cheap, reliable, and genuinely useful. Highly recommended!

Update. I've been using this mirror for several months and am delighted with it. Its remained stable on 25 mile off road and on road rides and is very easy to adjust on the move. Its very well designed, provides a good rear view, is easy to fold when transporting your bike in the car and even looks good. What more could you want ? Very please with this mirror. Its not too big and looks good on the bike but most of all it gives a good field of view behind you. It is easy to fit with lots of adjustment but be prepared to spend time adjusting it several times to get it right. It stayed stable on a 12 mile off road ride so very pleased with it.

I bought one of these and then four more for my friends. It is a truly excellent read-view mirror for a bar end, especially a small internal diameter bar. The high quality of the image, is supplemented by the right-angle bend upwards of the mirror support, protecting the mirror from inadvertent interference. It does inevitably protrude to the right, but can be flicked in easily, and then returned to its proper setting. An excellent product. Contributes hugely to safety. (Later edit: I should have added that my handlebars are tapered back and flat, not drop. My comments do not apply to drop handlebars).

Good idea, that almost worked. I like its ability to fold it to stop damage, particularly when being transported. The nut and bolt used to tighten it has the nut sunk into the plastic moulding, but was not firm enough to tighten before it spun in the moulding, making it impossible to tighten up properly. It remained only just adequately tight. Riding a comfort bike and being sat quite a way back from the bars gave you a limited view through the mirror. It just isn't big enough for my style of bike to allow a confident view behind. Shame as I liked the idea.

I am a fan of the Zefal Cyclops mirror and have fitted them to most of my road bikes. They are relatively cheap, simple, reliable. and effective - especially if you are middle-aged like me, and get a stiff neck from craning around to watch rear-approaching traffic! However, when this (straight bar) version arrived, I was somewhat taken aback to find it had an unfamiliar, angled fixing bracket. Fortunately, after I fitted it to the straight bars of my mountain bike - for the occasional road commute - I realised that this allowed the mirror to be folded in under the bar grips, out of harm's way, for when I am off-road and don't need a mirror. Excellent! Also note that I have fitted this to a handlebar that has bar ends, and it is perfectly compatible (with mine, anyway).

Having tried a mirror with a flexible mount & noted a vibration issue I decided to try one of these fitting at the end of my drop bars. The mirror arrived quickly with the mount as a kit of parts, instructions are fairly clear, the mount replaces your existing bar end plug and can fit a range of bar sizes, once tightened up the mount was nice and secure. Mirror adjustment is easy and the ability to fold away is very handy when parking the bike, though it does mean you must re-align the mirror next time. In use the mirror does provide a stable image, though on drop bars a little smaller than I would have liked and in this configuration it is necessary to look down to view especially when on the upper bars. Its clear this mirror shape is designed for LHS fitting, so RHS fitting in the UK means the view is a little compromised. I`ve now been using this for over a year, it still works well and takes knocks without damage. Overall a nice mirror, not ideal for drop bars, but to date I`ve not found one that is.

I bought this after a previous mirror broke. It appears to be quite robust and the ability to move the mirror inboard, across the handlebar grip, is very useful and minimises the chance of accidental damage. The mirror is east to adjust however the view behind is not the greatest. Overall, for me, the mirror is a good compromise between rear visibility, likelihood of damage, adjustability and ease of use, although if I was commuting in busy city traffic I’d want a better view behind me.

Super Spiegel, einfache Montage, gute Sicht nach hinten. Zu einen top Preis.

J'ai beaucoup le fait qu'on peut le retourner facilement pour passer a des endroits plus étroits (des passage de porte par exemple). La fixation en bout de cintre est idéale, surtout si l'on ne dispose pas de beaucoup de place sur le reste du cintre (par exemple comme pour moi sur un VAE, une commande, un porte smartphone, un porte gourde et les fixations pour un sac).
