Review on Bike Eye Frame Mount Mirror Wide by Andrew Spainhour

Revainrating 5 out of 5

But good idea. - Sport

It's a good concept, but the framed Bike Eye mirror requires at least three modifications to work properly. It's clear manufacturers are pushing to accommodate larger tubes by making oversized clips and simply adding an insert for those with standard or narrow tubes. Another option is to lengthen the post connecting the mirror to the tube clamp to reveal the driver's leg. Finally, an adjustable ball joint (similar to the Mirrickle) is needed at the pivot of the mirror to better extend the effective viewing angle and allow for a horizontal position for better "reach". Be that as it may, there really isn't enough clearance or yaw control to provide good rearward visibility down the road. Two stars for a good concept, but only a first draft for a high-quality implementation.

Pros
  • Confidence
Cons
  • Only available in black
