I had to fiddle with that mirror on each of the bikes I put it on – but once I found the right spot and adjustment, mostly set and forget. I don’t find myself having to do the lean to get a clear rear view. My bolt came out on one of mine, too, but a replacement with a bit of Loctite fixed it right up. The mirror works well on Boscos, too – here on the proto-App Mystery Bike: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/8366641217/in/set-72157630957672582

Man, I really want to like that thing. I can't get it positioned so that I can see behind me without leaning my body out of the way. The bolt that fixes the mirror position rattled out and was lost after a week of riding. The damn thing knocks into everything. I do like seeing behind me, though, even if I have to lean out of the way. Where DO you mount the blasted thing, anyway? Albas, totally love em. I have Boscos now, and they're fine. I like that I can run my stem lower than with albas, but I miss the hooks when I'm climbing. And aesthetically, the boscos just don't look as nice on my Hunqapillar. That mirror, though. I shake my fist at it daily... On Wednesday, January 15, 2014 7:48:53 AM UTC-8, Edwin W wrote: I love the grouping of the best/worst<http://www.rivbike.com/category-s/795.htm> for the January Sale. My thoughts on best: Good lip stuff, Obenauf's, hemp twine, pine tar soap, John's Irish strap, can never get enough! Albas - love em. Mark's rack - I eventually will get one of these. On worst: Ones I like: MUSA Half Mitts (new edition with thumbs). I am sure these do not sell well, but I think they are a great addition to a bike bag for when it gets a bit chillier than you thought it would. German Mirror. I love mine, but it is so dorky (like my poncho), I bet it doesn't sell a ton. Ones I don't like: Half Mitts thumbs. Half Mitts without thumbs were a bad idea, to sell individual thumbs even worse. Windshield. You could make the same argument as for the Half Mitts (dorky, but practical), but I won't! Grunden's rain hat - I like the poncho, the hat is a little much for biking. Mystery - Anorak - low selling because they are new? High selling because they are good looking, cheap, practical and fold down small? What do you all think?
