"Take A Look" Bike Peddler Mirror Does anyone know if you can only wear these mirrors on one side? It looks like they are made just to go on the left.

If you live in a country where traffic travels on the left - as I do in Australia, it will necessitate positioning the mirror on the right side. As others have mentioned, this is perfectly feasible. I attach it to my glasses and believe this is the best mounting position - more stable than a helmet. A superb product - one of the best investments in safety that could be made - 5 stars.

This mirror is completely reversible. At least the compact model is - can someone check the "original" to see if the pivot hole in the mirror is drilled all the way through? At any rate, on the compact model, gently work the mirror off the stainless pivot rod, flip the mirror and reinsert the pivot rod on the opposite side of the mirror. If you find the mount also needs to be reversed, one gentle bend at the middle prong, and, voila! You're holding, pardon the expression, a mirror image of the original mirror, perfectly suitable for right-side mounting.

The three rubber-covered posts are indeed curved for left-side mounting. But they can be bent to curve the other way. I have just done so, and the mirror is now solidly adhered to the right side of my riding glasses.

Sorry just reading this email. Not sure what you mean by this anyway. If you mean on the magnified side? Just like any other magnified mirror does. I love this mirror. Great for my 49 year old eyes. :) Hope you like what you get or already have.

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.

Not fully sure about the question. Anyways, as this is tied to the side, I have my front helmet light on the middle/top - and my helmet rear light - without interference whatsoever from the mirror. The mirror is perfect to me as it shows "real distance" to veihicles from behind. Once you find your way and position that matches you, it becomes a natural part of riding on roads without specific bike paths.

I didn't see a video....They were fairly easy to do, I did have to replace 1 nylon push type connector. Happy with the mirrors but it does take a while to get used to the non convex passanger side.

bruce, it is only for 1 mirror. You need to order 2 if you need them for both driver and passanger side.

The Mirrors have 3 pieces of tape in them for cushion. according to the instructions if they fit too tight remove one piece of tape at a time starting with the bottom piece until they fit properly. I have painted mirrors and I had to remove the bottom piece of for mine to fit. I hope this answers your question. I think they are the best looking and fitting.

I got the wide mirror, which is vertical, but was unable to make it work. When mounted, the mirror is in front of your leg and all I could see was my leg. It pivots up and down, but not side to side.

What I did was install a wooden dowel inside the handlebars and then drilled out a hole, and installed the mirrors that way. I know that does not answer the question, but I never tried to find out.

They are adjustable and mount to either side of the bike depending on how you want the mirrors to sit. They do vibrate a little more than I'd hoped they would, but otherwise they're great.

Yeppers... Just make sure you read the instructions because you have to tuck in the ends by the side view mirrors on the front. They are easy to put on just follow the directions.

Yes you get both sides. It is a GM Accessory Kit that has both mirrors. Thanks!

I tried to find out the same thing, and couldn't get an answer. I ended up buying a mirror separately, and it looks fine.

I love this mirror! You get a really good view of a large area behind you, though you do need to have your left leg at the top of the pedal stroke. I have mine mounted to a Cannondale CAAD 10 road frame which has a pretty large diameter down tube and has pretty similar dimensions to my old Cannondale mountain bike frame (1992 vintage) which is will also fit. Keep in mind that you won't be able to see behind you if you have a rack on the bike and mount a bag on the same side as you mount the mirror - presumably on the left.

I noticed when I first got it too, but then saw that the installation instructions say "Please note that there is a protective cover/film on the mirrors surface so that it does not get scratched during shipping and handling. Ensure that this protective film cover is removed prior to use and cycling." The film isn't immediately obvious, but if you scratch with a fingernail at the edge, I suspect you'll find it (if you haven't removed it already).

Only one side. The mirrors are left and right. Different part numbers for each side.
