  1. Yes, I am fully bent. I bought the Cycle Genius RDX. That's the good news. I
    put a handlebar-end mirror on it and went for a ride. Getting off, my left
    knee hit the mirror and snapped it right off!

    I need to know what type of handlebar mirrors y'all use so that this doesn't
    happen again.

    thanks,

    I've had one of these 4 years and haven't managed to bust it yet.

    I like the de-magnifying(?) effect (not too much as other mirrors), the
    small size and the durability/quality. I dislike the nylon(?) "hoseclamp"
    attachment, but the bar end mount is far better. When the thread disappears
    from the hoseclamp it's easy to attach a normal hoseclamp through the
    mirrorbracket.

  4. Thats what I now use, only problem I've found is they aren't great at
    discerning clearly beyond several hundred feet which to me isn't a problem.

    When I looked at the dual ball mounts I was afraid I'd never be able to keep
    them adjusted correctly however that hasn't been the case (I'm picky about
    that stuff)

  6. Hi Pat

    Try a helmet mount or eye glass mount mirror, you will only have to replace
    them when you lose them.
