Review on 🚴 Selle ITALIA Eyelink Mirror: Enhance Your Cycling Safety with this Revolutionary Accessory by William Gildea

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great mirror option!

I have driven 65 miles with this mirror and am very happy with it so far. I used to hate driving down the street, even with broad shoulders, not knowing what to expect behind me. Now I feel a lot more confident. Just look to the left and I can see pretty far behind. My last two rides have been mostly single and dual carriageway back roads with minimal traffic, but that's the road that worries me the most as traffic and speeding over hilly terrain weren't an issue with this mirror. A little about my bike before the pros and cons. I run a 2012 Felt f85 with Microshift shifters. Pros: Visibility is amazing! Only the terrain limits the range of vision. For now I leave the protective film. For me it doesn't affect the view - Pretty easy to install and I'm not worried about it falling - The mirror is easy to look at. I looked at some mirrors at the end of the bar, but didn't like the idea of looking down and around my arm. I also felt good driving a Honda Cbr600rr with this mirror on. On rough roads, the mirror moves, but this can easily be corrected by moving a few fingers. I don't even have to take my hands off my hood. - Landing is a bit of a problem for me anyway. The Microshift levers are quite bulky and the mirror mount doesn't completely cover them in places. Also the plastic edges are quite sharp and cut into the rubber covers of the levers. That's not a problem with Shimano and Sram. Vibrations are a bit annoying. It doesn't get to the point where you can't see what's coming, but there were times I couldn't figure out what it was (mistaking a tractor for a car). Overall, I highly recommend this mirror. It's not perfect, but the peace of mind it offers is priceless.
