Very cool... But pricey for me. But I'm sure those could be easily fab'd up with some regular bar ends and mtn bike mirrors. Tailor the length/bend on the arms to your needs. Notice that the arm and set screw interchange to allow the multiple position options. The arm ends should have the same thread to allow it to be used either 'direction' for even more options. Thanks for the post Pinball! |

Nice mirrors, but you can get German made mirrors almost identical to those at http://www.cyclegear.com/ For $59. bucks a pair. (Message edited by liquorbox on January 05, 2007) |

They look nice, and are on sale for 50 bucks, but are only available in silver right now. I prefer the others as they can perform as bar end sliders in the event of a tip over. |

I have one of the Oberon mirrors. They are turned from billet alloy. They are a beautifully made piece, as is all the stuff they make.

I like. But are these's mirrors convexed? |

No not convexed. The image in them is very good actually. The difficulty is in glancing at something that small and having time to take the image on board. Rocket |

The lack of convex glass keeps me from buying those. Otherwise they are beautiful. |

The flat glass just blew it for me. I guess I could get convex glass made or attach a spot mirror, but that would be too many hoops to jump through for pricey bits like these. |

Why would you want convexed glass? Rocket |

wider field of view, eliminates blind spots |

Ah so you want a third mirror as a blind spot mirror. I'm actually looking at getting rid of the Mickey Mouse ears when I convert to ISR levers etc this year. That's why I fitted the bar end from Oberon. I was trying to evaluate its use as a stand alone mirror but to be honest, when you're in a gaggle of bikes jockeying for position, it's hard to use the bar end when the bigger mirror is more viewable at glance. I should get out for a ride without the MM mirrors and try it that way, then I'd know for sure how usable the smaller bar ends really are. Rocket |
