I have one of these on all of my drop-bar bikes. I appreciate the clean, aero design. It is just enough, when positioned correctly, to be able to see what is coming up behind you. I also like that it has some give. So rather than snap off or break, it pops out of the mount during inadvertent contact - just pop it back in and you are fine. I have had larger (clunkier) rear-view mirrors on a flat-bar bike that do provide a better rear view. But for fast riding on a road bike, this little mirror is just enough. I feel weird riding without one.

It's really hard to find a mirror that actually works on a gravel/CX bike. I've tried just about everything made and was about to give up when I saw this. It was a little tough to get it installed, so I'd probably try a little tire lube next time. Mirror stays put when riding even over the roughest roads and doesn't vibrate. It's critical to see what's behind you where I ride (logging trucks, dump trucks, UTV's, etc.) and thanks to a car accident it's very difficult to turn and look behind me. A working mirror is literally a life saver on my rides. My only complaint is that it would be nice if it were round on the outer edge so it had more viewing area. You have to adjust it outward as far as it goes or you will just see your leg (at least with the bars I have). I'm happy it didn't end up in the box of mirrors I bought in the past that didn't work and I highly recommend you give it a try.Read full review

I only have one for my left side (U.S.A.) Other reviews state that you can't see approaching vehicles until they're too close. My personal experiences after using it extensively for over 3 months in short and long century, solo and group rides, is that it does it's job well. It has help me tremendously. Not having to look back over my shoulder is a lifesaver IMO. Once I set it on my favorite spot to look, I could see everything behind my left side. I sometimes move it some with my knee on take offs, but I can easily adjust it back once on the way. I did put a small piece of rubber band inside the receiver "cup" and it holds it in place, even on rough surfaces. It does get dirty easily with my sweat, but I can clean it enough with my gloves. It's black like my bike, so it looks cool and almost inconspicuous. I'll definitely get another one when I upgrade my current bike. Ride on!Read full review

I tried a few different types of rear view mirrors. I didn't like the mirrors that attach to my glasses because they partially block my field of vision. I also didn't like the large round rear view mirrors that attach to the handlebars - they tended to flop around too much. I do like the Sprintech rear view mirror. I only use the mirror on the left side. It's great!

Generally like the product. It is serving the purpose. It is convenient,, light weight, unobtrusive, and manages to hold its position well through wind and bumps. After a number of miles in traffic situations, I think I would like it a little better if the mirrored surface was just a little less convex. It does give a wide view, but it is a little hard to judge the distance to traffic from the rear. I think I will get used to it, but think it could be a little better.
