Mostly we ride MTB, but lately we have taken to road riding, not least because we found some irresistable Klein Qs ( some of the last Chehalis made). We find cars really scary on twisting narrow roads. When the wind comes from the wrong direction you don´t know that they are there before they are in the midst of overtaking you.
So, I would like to have a tiny mirror that can be fitted at the end of the drop bar. Should be really small to minimize "draft".

I've found that small bar mirrors either didn't offer enough overall view of the road or were too concave to see anything not right on one's ass.
I've been happy with Third Eye mirrors. 3rd-eye.com3rd-eye.comOpen ↗ The mirror is closer to my eye so I can get a bigger image with a smaller mirror. I can easily scan the whole road with just slight turns of my head. I wish the mounts on the eye glass versions were stronger, but I understand the reasoning behind it of better safe than sorry.

Are they easy to take off? Riding singletrack in the woods there is not really any need for a mirror. It is just now when we are riding more on road I feel it would be good to have the possibility of getting some advance warning.
The third Eye Pro is the model I like best. It has the largest size mirror making for the widest view, and nearly every part can be disassembled and replaced (write the company and tell them which part you need.

They're easy to take off and come with a small plastic case for storage, but unless you're riding through the brush with branches hitting your glasses, I see no need to take them off. After a week or two, I hardly noticed the mirror was there unless I looked at it.

I just fold mine back against my ear when I'm off the bike or in the woods. I do find it useful when I'm leading off-road rides. It's also handy at the beach.
