Here’s mine. https://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/7439946904/in/set-72157630285823166 FWIW, I love it, and I’ve never had to tighten it once. It’s mounted immediately below the brake hood.

Send pics, please. My was mounted in about the same place. I gave it to my wife for her albas so I can't send a picture. My only beef with the mirror is the difficulty keeping the strap tight to keep it in one place, but then it only had to be adjured once per ride.

RE: [RBW] Re: German Mirror ???
I have one on my Quickbeam with Noodles, Atlantis with Albas, and Mystery Bike with Bullmoose Bosco.

I miss the mirror when I’m riding one of my bikes without one, and I rely on them frequently as a backup view to the rear (backup to sound and a quick turn to look). Sometimes the plastic bolt that keeps the ball joint near the mirror comes out (don’t know why), but they can be replaced with a standard (6mm, I think) Allen bolt. Apart from that, they’re quite rugged; as you can see in one of the MB pics, I often lean the bike against the mirror, and they stay adjusted and hold the bike up without any other contact.

I like mine: https://flic.kr/p/jwysaa I use it on my commuting bike. The coverage is good enough and the mirror is rugged. I park the bike behind the door in my classroom and on the porch of my house where the mirror receives constant bumping.

I have the tension on the mirror to arm connection such that I can adjust the angle of the mirror with a firm hand; this allows me to adjust it as I ride should it have gotten smacked too hard by an opening door.

Re: [RBW] Re: German Mirror ???
Have one and love it. I have taken it on and off a few times with no issues on the clamp but it's over bar tape and shellac so no issues with getting it tight enough on the bars. I have to leave mine slightly loose so I can move it up when the bikes in the hallway.
