I always use a handlebar mirror, so I am not anti mirror, just found I always turned my head to look in the thing which does not work. -- Remove norubbish to reply |

Helmet Mounted Mirror
On 2007-12-30, Terry (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea: Has anyone used one, and what do you think about it. Is it ok to use with a Road Bike riding position. No different to on sit-up-and-begs, except when I am wearing bigass glasses, in which case the rims get in the way of the view of the mirror. They take a few weeks before you get the hang of scanning behind you the right way, since their view is so small. -- TimC "Warning: Do not look into laser with remaining eye" -- a physics experiment "Press emergency laser shutdown button with remaining hand" -- J.D.Baldwin@ASR "Do not touch terminals with remaining hand" -- Peter Corlett@ASR |

Look at www.thirdeye.com they have helmet and glasses mounted mirrors and will send direct from the US. I have used a glasses mounted mirror for a while now and find it great, never miss the rear view, but requires you to turn your head. -- Bob C -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Helmet Mounted Mirror
I use a helmet mirror but mount it on the side of my glasses:

Is it ok to use with a Road Bike riding position. Don't know -- never get there on a flat bar. The wierd thing is riding with out it, and my eyes keep wanting to flick right to check behind me. A look over the shoulder is still sometimes needed, but the mirror shows when there are things in the way, so saves the effort and keeps my eyes on the road. Some super sticky 3M tape really helps keep the mount on the helmet. Dave. |

Have used one with both dropped and flat handle-bars and had no problems with either. There's no need to import these as such. See your local dentist, ask them for half a dozen, they'll give them to you. Then take one bit of old spoke, a small electrical connector (Dick Smith or Tandy) and some araldite or superglue. You can probably figure assembly out for yourself, easy enough, adjust with pliers for correct view when complete. I wouldn't be without one, and have no problems adjusting from flick left (car) to flick right (bike). Simple, cheap, light, compact, vibration-free, and you can spot a likely arsehole well before they get close, for evasive action. Cheers, Ray |
