Will it survive if the bike is knocked over? My last one didn't.

I haven't had the bike fall over on the mirror yet. But my guess is it won't survive. It's held in the handlebar solidly and if it hits something hard I'm sure the plastic will break off.

I have bought two of them because the mirror of the first one was broken when my bicycle fell, however the second one lasted a long time even though my bicycle fell several times

as it juts out of the end of the handle bar it really depends on how you fall. it will certainly snap off if just the right amount of shear force is applied: the base is made of rigid plastic.

That all depends on where the mirror lands when the bike is knocked over. If it lands directly on the mirror, and it went down hard, I would imagine almost any mirror would break. I have never had a problem with it. The only thing I don't like is that the images look way back further than they actually are. I like the fact that you can turn the mirror in towards the bike when not in use.

Mirrors are always vulnerable so I stock a few extras, which you can buy individually, in my stock pile for those timesOtherwise this is a great mirror which holds it's adjustments and doesn't vibrate.

I doubt it would protect it unless it happened to land right on it's back. It is fairly slippery as well so the danger is there more than with other cases I have.

I gad it for months and so far no damage to tire, I should mention I have been carefull when placing bike on the wall.

I haven't had any trouble with it tipping over, but I tried it myself and it did continue to run. That's obviously a safety concern that should be addressed.

My unit fell off the back of a Ford Expedition onto pavement. It landed on the head. It just dinged the head with a little scratch and the tank was just fine. I use every day since and it works great. I don't think it's fragile or it would have been "toast" when it fell earlier.

It will probably good enough if it doesn't get continuously knocked around.

It can lift both ends of the bike off the ground. Stability with my Valkyrie was good but I'd still feel better tying off the bars somehow, either from above, like from the rafters or to ground anchors. In other words, if you had it jacked up it wouldn't take too much to knock it over though if not bumped it would stay there forever, I think.

My daughter was pretty rough with ours and never knocked it over. You will have more problems with it leaking. We had ours 2 months and had to patch it so many times, we returned it. Hope this helps.

Very durable. I think maybe if it was run over by a truck it might destroy it.

I have had it tip over on concrete and a lot of dunking and hanging on the rim. It has held up with no cracks or shattering. Hope this helps...

I haven't dropped mine. It looks COOL, but that might be form over function. LO'B

Mine has held up beautifully. However, I must mention that I ride a road bike 3-4x a week, on smooth asphalt terrain, and for only about 8 miles at a stretch. So, in truth, it has not been subjected to any notable or adverse wear and tear

If you lay it down carefully it won't break but may be mal-adjusted when you go to use it. I lean the other side against a wall. Mine fell over in soft dirt and it survived with nothing but a bent screw. Keep in mind that this is so inexpensive that you can really afford to get a spare. It's is hands down the best mirror I have ever used. Fragile? Yes, but works so well!! You could always get some rebar and build a cage for it if you treat your bike like junk. That would save it.

Once the bike is on the stand, it's very sturdy. The only times I need to be careful is when I'm either putting the bike on or taking it off. Sometimes I need to put my foot onto one of the support legs on the floor to keep it from tipping.

Yes, make sure you secure the bike ..I have to be carefull bike does not hit rear window

Completely depends on how much you use it. I don't use my bike every day, but mine is still going strong after over a year.
