Poor fit. Poor quality.
The product would not fit easily into the bar ends and broke when I was trying to fit it. Really poor quality.

It's not too small!
Great little mirror which, when positioned right, gives you a good view of cars going pretty far back. Really helpful when approaching a junction. It does move slightly out if you ride on bumpy roads but no dramas.

suitable for road bike
Convenient solution for road bike, do not pass by flicking the place. Definite recommendation!

Essential
Great bit of kit for a nervous return to cycling on busy roads

Cracking little mirror.
Cracking little mirror. Very useful for watching traffic behind me when I commute through busy Manchester. Easy adjustments allows for correct angle set up.

safer riding
Can be set to allow easy assessment of trafic comming up from behind to save turning to look which tends to move bike out into traffic. Also allows you to keep an eye on those annoying cars that sit on your tail before overtaking.

Brilliant!
I've been using this mirror for over 6 months and it has proved to be really useful. Contrary to what some reviewers have said, I find it fits very securely if you follow the instructions. I have just bought another one for my other road bike. It is a small mirror so realistically you can only see cars that are quite close behind you, or those with their headlights on. This really is such a small price to pay for the added security which could save you from serious injury or worse

Great Mirror.
Read the reviews and noted that people said it was very small so that's why I bought it. The image is extremely clear and it's really easy to adjust whilst on the move. Being small it doesn't look ridiculous on the bike and with the exception of extremely poor road surfaces and cattle grids it stays where it's positioned.

Easy to fit, does the job
I was able to fit this mirror to my drop bars in less than 5 minutes. Product is adjustable to fit different bar end diameters and is very secure when fitted. The mirror is small but gives a good view of the road behind and has an impressive range of movement. As others have said, vertical is the best position. It's a little harder to look into if in the drops but still possible. Does what it says. Very happy with it.

The diameter would not expand to fit my bar ends
The diameter would not expand to fit my bar ends, so it ended up falling out and breaking on day 1

Practical but a bit small
Well made, robust, clever design and folds away well. I personally find it a bit too small to use with confidence.

Mirror could probably have been slightly larger, having said that fits nicely on handlebar end and folds nicely underneath.

Arrived with glass cracked.
At first glance this looked to be well made but when I went to fit it to my bike I noticed that there were hairline cracks in the glass of the mirror. I returned it for refund, which Wiggle did without question.

Superb piece of kit
I wasn’t sure about purchasing this due to the mixed reviews but I’m glad I did as it’s an excellent bit of kit. I have a stiff neck and back so find turning around to see traffic uncomfortable and dangerous with the amount of body rotation required.
Size – the mirror is small but that is a good thing, for a road bike you don’t want a massive mirror sticking out the side of your handle bars, once positioned correctly you will see all traffic behind you.
Positioning – it is quite critical to get it positioned correctly, once done you are able to see all traffic behind, due to my riding position I just slightly lift my elbow when riding for a perfect view of the mirror.
Repositioning – Once you have found the ideal positon it would be a good idea to mark exactly where it is when folded out so that you can quickly repeat the correct position, it revolves around 4 x axis, will update when I have found a good method of marking it.
Storage – It folds back over your handle bar end when not in use so is unlikely to get broken.
Durability – Very solid piece of kit but unlikely to survive being smashed on the ground – it is a mirror after all.
Price – Excellent price for a much needed product.

Just the job!
At first I thought this was going to be another waste of my hard earned but alas no, I've now got used to it & when I remember to look it works well. Ok, it could have a better angle of vision but hey you don't want something resembling a bin lid strapped to your bars do you? I use mine in the horizontal & pointing inwards (works for me), I know somebody has said vertical but that was rubbish to be frank. It's only moved once when riding & that was probably my fault as it was me that didn't see the Grand Canyon size pothole not it's!

Small But Does the Job
Took me a while to get it secure but once it's in, it's not moving The mirror is small but gives me just enough to see what is behind me and makes me feel safer. Folds up nicely too.
05 March 2016
Handy little mirror just makes you feel more secure on the road as another reviewer said needs to be used in the vertical plane all in all it works after all who would want to drive their car /van /motor bike without a mirror just safer.

Natty bit of kit
Small, lightweight, folds under the handlebars neat and tidy. Easily fitted. Love it.

It's ok
I have been struggling with a stiff neck for a while and looking over my right shoulder has been tricky. This mirror fits into the bar end (no good on my other bike with bar end levers) and is very adjustable with a number of options as to how the mirror can be positioned. The view behind isn't bad but I find I need a good stare before I am confident, it is not as good as the rear view in a car mirror for example.

just too small
It's a lovely piece of engineering and all the swivel hinges work really well and bumping the bike around doesn't knock it out of line, but it's just too small to see what's behind. It doesn't project quite far enough out either and I found my bed roll, when I was touring, stuck out too far and blocked the view..
Ah well ...... it's still a beautifully designed thing which I can't bring myself to take off the bike although I must be fair and not reccomend it.

Great accessory unless you're on the drops a lot
If you are as bad as me at staying in a straight line when looking over your shoulder in traffic this mirror is a great accessory!
Adjusting for tilt is crucial and can only really be done while actually riding (which is tricky). Having adjusted the tilt it seems to keep the angle even when folding in and out (which you need to do as it is easily nudged when sticking out).
The only criticism is that when I am on the drops I can't see it at all and using it the other way round (inside the bars) gives a great view of your knee...
Overall I am very pleased with this mirror.

Clear view
Clear and wide view in such small size!
Very good for safe ride.
21 August 2015
Very useful bit of kit very good field of view considering size of mirror fully adjustable and tucks out of the way when not in use.

Decent quality but difficult to use
Have this fitted on on my road bike on the end of the drops.
I was uncertain whether my arm would block the view to the Mirror, but took the chance. Unfortunately I don't have line of sight when on the hoods or drops, but need to move my arm/head:both to use it. So I don't use it much - only to keep an eye on a cycling Partner.
Its small narrow size also makes it hard to adjust to the right field of view which usually takes several attempts.
On the positive size, it is very stable, and doesn't move even on very rough surfaces

Simple and effective
Never thought I'd ever put a mirror on a road bike. After seeing these used in Majorca by lots of club cyclist I thought there must be something I'm missing. Ideal foldable mirror for use when riding alone in traffic. Useful when cars are coming up from behind when you are riding into a head wind and can't hear approaching traffic.
Great little safety add on.

This is a great bit of kit, easily adjustable even on the move and the field of vision is superb.One of my club mates was so impressed that he purchased one, and on a recent club ride he had a cyclist that he had just overtaken chase after him to get the mirror details.

Get the angle right
At first I thought this was a waist of time. I could not get the angle right to see anything. Then by accident I used it in the vertical position. So a long slither of mirror covering the road behind. It appeared to be designed this way round - the road coverage was great and it gave some piece of mind about what was about to pass you safely - or not.
28 May 2015
not this one
Hard to keep adjusted, not easy to see what's behind. I've had better (and worse).

Easy to fit and adjust
although small happy with this mirror - tighten to reduce vibration
