Mirror for Flat bar Roadie.

[martinjs]

Whats the best option for a mirror on a flat bar roadie? Not bar ends as I already have a good set and don't want to replace them.

Thanks

The Zefal Dooback Mirror is a good one for flat handlebars. Mounts inside end of bar. Compatible with most bar ends.



The right hand models generally sold here.

Dear Martin

I am very very happy with my Zefal Spy Mirror. It is nice and small, yet very effective, and it does not stand out making me or the bike look so ah ehhh dorky . I would think it would mount on the bar end okay if you can afford to loose a little real estate. If not, then I doubt it would be any good for you.

Trouble is I have a set of Cane Creek Ergo Control II Bar ends and they fit on the very end, very comfy and give great control.

I've been thinking about the Zefal Spy Mirror and where to mount it, perhaps the fork is a good location, the only concern is looking down to view the mirror.

Mmm, well I ride a roadie with the spy mirror on it. Natural riding position is well inclined towards the ground, me finds. So looking down is no different to looking sideways (flatbar), or up (car) in my view.

Not sure how it would go on the forks. I suspect you leg will get in the way.
