ZEFAL Spin Mirror

Very easy to fit in the end of the drop bars on my bike or in the end of flat bars on my wife's flat bar road bike. Only small but gives a clear view of what is coming up behind with no vibration. My wife said she would not have a mirror on her bike because it looks daft. However this mirror is very discreet when fitted and after she started riding with it her opinion has changed, she loves it, so much she has now fitted one onto her winter bike as well. Good low cost product which works small, light and descreat when fitted. It can also be folded out of the way when you leave it parked against the wall.

Nice build quality, rigid plastic rather than metal keeps it light. It comes with extra shims so it should fit the standard range of handle bar inner dimensions. I have mine fitted to a hybrid with flat handlebars. The mirror is actually on the end of additional handlebar ends. The two pivot points gives you a very wide range of motion and you should be able to find a suitable position with a little experimentation. Once you have it positioned right for you then I'd mark it up with something so that you can find that positions again quickly. Useful if you have to fold the mirror to put the bike away or squeeze through somewhere. The movement is not to firm, so it is easy to adjust. But it is firm enough that it will stay where you put it on all but very rough roads. I couldn't comment on using it mountain biking off road as I've never tried that with a mirror. The mirror is on the small side but is slightly convex and gives a decent field of view. It's always a trade off between a better view and a mirror that isn't a barn door, but this suits me. I use the mirror as a backup to my hearing and shoulder checks, I don't expect it to replace those things and keep me safe.

I've tried many cycling mirrors to aid me with my safety whilst on the road. Most of them are crap if I'm honest!! I've tried the Halfords bar end mirror (the plastic one vibrates like mad), the metal one is a lot better but it isn't convex glass and so doesn't give the widest field of vision, however, the view that is seen is a truer picture. I've also tried the Cycle Aware Reflex Helmet Mirror. I found this to be very difficult to position correctly and gave up in the end!! The Zefal Spin Bar End Mirror - NOW YOU'RE TALKING!! It's an excellent price for what you get. I have two bikes (a mountain bike and a road bike) - I have one of these mirrors for each bike, they're that good! The required view is very easy to set up, and once that is achieved, a simple screw and the position is in place. You can also adjust the mirror when not in use which is a great idea, should you wish to park your bike up for example. The glass is convex which gives an excellent view of rear traffic, ok, the traffic is closer than what it appears to be in the glass, but I personally prefer that. A quick reference point when stationery gives the rider the judgement of following vehicles quite easily. Seriously, if you're thinking of buying a cycling mirror, don't try anything else!! I am an advanced cyclist (IAM) and I strongly recommend this

The mirror was very easy to fit. There are two expanding collars over the main bracket, to allow for bigger bars, in my case neither were needed, it fit my bars fine on just the expanding bracket. The hinges can be tightened, to make their action stiffer, and I have found them very stable in use. Being able to fold the mirror out of the way is very handy when I'm stowing the bike away. The mirror is small, but the convex surface gives a decent view behind, once properly adjusted. Update: these aren't resilient if you drop the bike and will snap off. Having said that they're still my preferred mirror.

For a small (6cm x 3cm) and unobtrusive mirror this works very well. It is fitted easily into the end of the handlebar - there is a removable plastic sleeve to allow for different diameters of handlebar - and you just turn a screw to expand and tighten it. The mirror is easy to adjust up or down on the move if necessary and it will rotate up or down out of the way. I was surprised how much you can see (as long as you remember to remove the protective plastic film!). It seems to be well made. The only note of caution, as stated on the packaging, is that as the mirror is convex then vehicles behind do look to be much further away than they really are. It doesn't replace that vital last look over the shoulder before moving out. If you are buying a mirror because you have difficulty in turning your head to look behind then perhaps a larger flat mirror would be safer.

I bought this - love the way it can swivel to be adjusted for viewing and for storage. However, found it very hard and distracting to use safely as thee mirror is flat and narrow. SOLUTION: I super-glued a cheap, light and round plastic convex mirror onto the flat mirror and now I've got a fantastic fully adjustable mirror that gives me a great view behind. If this product had a convex mirror variant it would be an absolute winner.

Very easy to fit and comes with two shims/collars depending on the diametre of your handle bars or bar ends, all you need is a screw driver. Once fitted it's firmly in place with no chance of falling off or out. The mirror is fully adjustable and thankfully stays in place once positioned (no tools required) even going over a few speed bumps. As you can see from my image, I have the mirror attached to my right hand stubby bar end, it's out of my way and I'm out of it's way. Saying that, if I'm holding the bar end, a couple of knuckles just come in to view on the bottom left corner, but in no way do they hamper the rear view...So way four stars, if I had the option I'd gladly give it 4.5, but I knocked a star off for the distortion at the top of the mirror, noticeable near the top of the tree. It's small and slightly convex but shows traffic approaching perfectly. A larger mirror will show more road and more sky and might be a little easier on the eye when you first look at it, but angled correctly this compact Zefal concentrates the eye exactly where it needs to be!

This is probably the best value accessory I've ever bought for a bike. Like many of the other reviewers, I have trouble turning my head to check for vehicles approaching from behind; and when I do I often wander off onto the verge! I met a keen cyclist who had a rear light with a laser sensor in it. This sent a signal to his cycle computer warning him of vehicles closing in on his rear. He paid almost £300 for the light on it's own and it had a battery life of about 6 hours. Just under £11 buys this mirror that you can check regularly and see the road behind, very handy when I want to turn right. It pushes into the end of the handlebars and tightens with a screw. When not in use it folds neatly under the bar and is so unobtrusive that the first couple of times I went out I forgot to 'deploy' until well into my ride. Although not very high it gives a wide view.

Commande livrée rapidement. A l'ouverture du colis j'ai été surpris de la taille relativement petite de ce rétroviseur, et suis donc parti avec un à priori. Je n'avais pas prévu au départ de mettre 5 étoiles....... Après installation sur mon vélo de course. Pour ma part j'ai dévissé l'embout de mon guidon gauche et installé le rétro en lieu et place. Pas de soucis il s'est emboîté nickel et les possibilité de réglages sont nombreuses. Au début je me disait que la surface de rétro vision était vraiment petite. Mais après utilisation et finalisation du réglage en position route, je dois admettre que ce rétroviseur assure correctement sa fonction. C'est un plus pour la sécurité même si une petite rotation de la tête pour contrôler l'arrière n'est pas à omettre. En définitive, je me suis bien habitué à ce rétroviseur et aurait désormais du mal à m'en passer. Les plastiques semblent légers, voir leur résistance dans le temps, mais je maintiens dans l'immédiat mes 5 étoiles.

ondanks klein, toch goede zichtbaarheid en zeer goed instelbaar.

The mirror is perfect size for me and does what it needs to do. Riding on bike lane and can see if car is coming up on me or somebody else on bike is passing me. Swivels out of the way for storage. Works for below bars or above bar and easy to change with a simple screw to loosen and swivel to where you want it top or bottom.

Der Spiegel passt für das Brompton G Line City + Montage einfach. Sicht ist gut. Alles andere wird die Zeit ergeben, ist nun mal Kunststoff.

Bu modeli bana bisiklet sürerken tanıştığım birisi tavsiye etmişti. Ormanlık bir yere veya bisiklet yoluna ulaşana kadar illa ki trafiğe girmek durumunda kalıyoruz. Aynadan önce devamlı arkadan gelen araçların sesi tedirginlik yaratıyordu. Aynayı taktıktan sonra çok daha güvenli sürüş yapabiliyorum. Aynanın bağlantı yerinde ekstra iki plastik aparat var, gidonunuzun giriş ağzı büyükse ona uyması için eklenmiş. Ben dağ bisikletime taktım. Her tür yöne dönebiliyor ayna. İstediğiniz gibi görüş açınızı ayarlayabilirsiniz. Plastiği de çok kaliteli kolay kolay kırılacak bir şeye benzemiyor. Bisiklet Sepeti siparişi ertesi gün gönderdi. Çok hızlılar. Trafiğe çıkan bisikletçilere tavsiye ederim. Tabi ani bir manevra yapacaksanız aynadan sonra mutlaka başınız ile arkayı kontrol ederek dönmeyi unutmayın.
