Econo mirror mount for my Strada

For one that looks a little better, buy a Space Saver mount , about $10. and use the lower part
only. You will only use the first section of the Mountain mirror and will need to drill a larger
hole for the Space saver bolt to go through, but that's how the hostell Shoppe makes theirs. You
save about $10. that way. You can also bend a piece of metal or aluminum flat stock and make a tab
to fasten onto the brake lever pivot bolt. Ben fox "Bill B" <[email hidden]> wrote in

My mirrycle bar end mirror did not work very good on my Strada. Could not see paying $35 for a
mount that a online bent store offers so I made my own version. Word of warning, it ain't pretty
nor is it butt ugly. best news is it works great, provides a super rear view and is cheap cheap
cheap n easy to make. take a look if you like community.webshots.com93434805dSlyfdOpen ↗

Sharp edges on hose clamps too.

What kind of seat bag is that on your bike and how much weight can you put in it. I have the
FastBack with the detachable yellow bag, which is nice, but the bag is only intended for light items
like a windbreaker.

One more Strada seat bag question: Is there a similar bag for the M5 seat?

Bill, The Hostel Shoppe has both the Strada and M-5 seat bags. The Strada is the Rans aerobag and
the M-5 is I think, made for the hostel shoppe. The are 2 sizes for the M-5 ,the larger one looks
just like the rans aerobag. I have it on my Corsa,of course I can't remember the exact name of
it.ben fox
