Just ordered these bar ends, but want to fix a road bike mirror (drop bar mirror that fits inside the hole of the bar). Is it possible to do this?

i not know but would think it is possible as long as adjustments on mirror are flexable. i have one on end of straight bar an would do as you sugest allso.

Yes! They are the same inner diameter as regular bars...I have similar mirrors.

Don't try it yourself. Have your local dealer do it. I did it myself and did it wrong because I have saddlebags and a hidden hitch. My bike was a special case!

You will need to cut the very end of your rubber handle grip off, like slicing off the tip of a cigar. Then push grip back on. The mirror has a "L" shape bracket which you slide thru the hole off the rubber grip which slides into the opening of the handle bar. There is a Allen screw at the end off the mirror bracket on the outside. Tighten Allen and it spreads the mechanism you pushed thru end of handle grip that went into handle bar. It spreads and tightens inside of handle bar. Very easy to do and best mirror I have used.

I have never tried to do this, but you might want to unscrew the mirror and see if you can gain access to the handle hardware that way. Good luck.

If you're talking about a mirror that mounts in the end of the handlebar then they already have a hole in the end. I will say that I had to cut mine (make them shorter) to accommodate my grip shifters.

I think you probably could do that. The bar originally is attached with 2 Allen screws. If you wanna see it installed send me a WhatsApp to +584129550692

I do not know what bar ends are. I have attached the mirror to the end of my handlebar on the left side. It gives good vision. Bob

Mine looks like a standard Schwinn bicycle handlebar (7/8"-1") guestimate. I put mine snug to the grip on the left side and as horizontal as possible. The shaft is about 5" and the mirror extends about an inch/so more. I adjust it the first time to give me the best rear view before tightening it down well. For even better safety another mirror on the right hand side would be good.

There are two sizes of mounts supplied. The larger one fits bars with an inside diameter of about 3/4 inch, or 19mm, and the other one is slightly smaller. Because the mounting rubber expands inside the bar to hold the mirror, it can be shimmed, with something like the rubber from an old inner tube, to fit even larger bars.

I had to look up "tour easy." This mirror has 3 joints for adjustment and should be able to accommodate as long as it fits in the end of your handlebar.

Just looked at my grips, I don't think you can add bar end mirrors. The extension part of the grip fits tightly over the bar and there is a screw to secure it. Be careful not to over tighten this screw, I have broken it in the past. This is my second set of grips in this style. You may be able to put the mirrors on if you are creative, but I don't think so

these bars are the same diameter as mountain bike handlebars. Looking at your Windor Tourist online, it appears to have drop bars which usually have a larger diameter from my experience. So my guess is that your brakel levers/shifters would not necessarily tranfer well to this bar and may not be able to be tighetened enough. Just my guess though. I do love these bars though!!!

Ty, I have not yet had need to do that. I am going to guess the answer is NO, meaning they probably can't process a pro rated sale for the replacement mount. I would suggest that you ask around at local bike shops. If you have some independent shop, I'm positive they could have a replacement part that will fit or be adjusted to fit properly. In my area, we have a hole in the wall, CHEAP bike shop that stocks millions of parts, tires, etc...I can try to check there this weekend and see if they have such an apparatus that will fit with the light, then send it to you....let me know.

Depends on the style of mirror. If it's the clamp style, you might need to grind down a tiny bit of the inside of the outer clamp. Mine slid on and stopped at the end of of my bars. Now if you have the type that slip into the handle bar opening, it would be possible by not adding on the ODI grip plug/cap.

It appears it will work without the custom brackets. If you could post a picture from the rider's position shooting towards the handlebars and mirrors, that would help us now for sure. But otherwise, if not, you could either return them or purchase the custom brackets.

Not sure what direction you are referring too, I've made this mirror work on both drops on a road bike and handlebars on a mtn bike. Its incredibly versatile and goes on in one second with a rubber clip on. I keep a couple around to quick thrown on MTN bikes if pedaling to the trails. but also using off the drops of my road bike. At The mirror can lean a bit in any direction partway and can be turned 360 degrees. I suspect there are very few position you can't make work. There are of course bigger mirrors that can be permanently mounted or Velcro'd on for a bigger view

I am not sure when I get home I'll measure ,I ended up mounting mine to the old mirror mounts with a bolt. The spreaders that go inside the the bar never opened up they just kept spinning. If you send me your email address I will send you pics of what I did (if interested ) my email is mtruitt_1971@yahoo.com
