I'm glad to see this thread alive again! I ended up getting a different version of a mirror for a basket mount. Here's a link to the picture: https://www.instagram.com/p/BYB0hh-Bm6O/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet=ds354uupmmg2 It only lasted a few months before my bike fell over and the mirror

Thanks for the pics. I've seen the mirror mounted on the head tube like that. The basket seems like a better way to go since it gets the mirror further out. On Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 11:43:25 AM UTC-4, TampaTech wrote: > > Sorry for the delay. I have been out of town. I just threw the

Sorry for the delay. I have been out of town. I just threw the mirror on my basket to see if I would like it there. I figured I'd find a more elegant solution if it worked well. That was a thousand miles ago and it's still there. One of these days... Here's a few pictures.

I have one mounted on the basket on my Sam. I just put a small PVC coupling in the basket so it had something round to attach to. I can view it well from any hand position on my noodle bars. It gets in the way once in a while but I expect that would be the case anywhere it was mounted. On

I like mine a little farther down the bar then the first two replies. It felt like it was in the way higher up. Where I have it I can get my hands up in the curve of the drops (brake range) without being in the way and when my hand if further down I slip the post between my fingers.

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. Michael On Friday, February 27, 2015 at

A, yes. Except tires on gravel make noise, often more than the engine does, so electric doesn't matter. Grin. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

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. On Sep 9, 2014 9:03 PM, Deacon
