Strengths:
Where this mirror has it over other products is in its firm attachment to the handlebar insuring no vibration. All articulations are at the mount point. Have them on all my bikes, road and mountain. Very low mirror distortions.
Weaknesses:
Easily broken in a spill, usually fixable with epoxy. I figure I go through at least one/bike/year - but they are worth it. The price has gone up considerably but you can find them on sale for around $14 this date
Similar Products Used:
Cat eye and other (don't remember name).
Bike Setup:
Original Manitou FS with Moxey seatpost, Manitou EFC suspension up front. All suspension elastomers replaced with springs. Great trail bike, real eye catcher.
Bottom Line:
That mirror and my 10mm Glock keep me bear safe back country riding here in Alaska. No joke, a local cyclist was chased by a Grizzly less than 8mi from town last summer.
