Review on ๐Ÿชž Sunlite Deluxe Reflective Mirror with Bolt-On Feature by Mike Lawler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good cheap mirror, but brittle and prone to rusting

The mirror housing is secured to the plastic stem knee with a sheet metal truss head screw that is about 1/4 inch shorter. bike falling off footpegs) will rip off 1/4 inch of the plastic that is attached to this bolt. A 1/4" longer screw doubles the shock resistance. -----------adequate field of view metric fittings (almost everything else on modern bikes is metric) appropriate handlebars angled sloping stem adequate length ball joint on the back of the mirror By rotating the clamp on the handlebars and rotating the stem, the mirrors can be positioned anywhere you want.The ball joint allows the mirror to be adjusted for a better rear view.In addition to the longer ball joint screw, this mirror could be improved by replacing the plated steel with stainless steel and /or alloy is substituted. For comparison and contrast, the 3" round mirrors of the Sunlight and Pyramid Pro are fixed to their shafts; after mirror positioning, aiming is restricted to an arc. A rectangular (and any other) sunlit mirror with a Stem protruding directly from handlebar clamp unduly restricts mirror positioning n and only works for me on BMX. The heavy-duty 9-inch pyramidal mirror uses a plastic crankshaft similar to that of the Sunlite. required for most applications. FWIW, the similar Sunlite Deluxe 11.5" bike mirror, works fine (for me) on a recumbent tadpole trike, but its stem is about twice the size of regular bikes.
