Zefal 95293 Spy Double Adjustment Bike Mirror for Road and MTB

Fantastic little mirror that doesn't look much but oh it's great... I had one on my bike before giving up cycling a few years back due to bad health and lack of storage facilities so I had no hesitation in buying it again when I started cycling again last week... It's adjustable but it's tight enough that it doesn't move (unless your hand accidentally hits it)... You get a clear view of what's behind you even though it looks so small and it doesn't shake like some other mirrors I researched... I have trouble with vertigo (though it's never bothered me when I'm cycling unless I have to turn my head) so turning to look behind me isn't a very safe option... I still turn if I need to but the mirror is so helpful that I don't need to turn as much as I used to... My only issue with it is the strap... Over time it can become loose but it's got enough stretch that you can tighten it to another another hole so it lasts a bit longer...

I'm not as excited about this as some people seem on here. But I do like it. 1st and best thing about this item is the value for money. As a bike accessory in general, it's okay. Build quality is necessarily minimal but decent enough. Being entirely made of plastic to keep the weight down. While the rubber strap is useful in that its long enough to allow you to fix the mirror to a multitude of places on your bike. It is far too stretchy and does not provide enough pressure to truly secure the mirror in place. Once I got the mirror in a reasonable viewing position, secured to my right barend, I found that it was quite easy to knock the mirror out of position. Forcing me to take care everytime I switched to using my bar ends. The strap is also too long. If you secure it to a thinner tube such as handlebars or barends you are left with a few inches of strap that hangs loosely. This can get in the way of things if you don't fix the mirror to your bike in just the right position. You may do as I did and decide that I was only going to clamp it to my handlebars or bar ends and cut off the length of strap that is uneccessary. Even after doing this I was still not fully satisfied with the fit. So I took the thing apart and mounted the mirror and rotating bezel to a regular reflector mount. So now I have the same mirror with all the same rotational freedom, same basic dimensions but with a rock solid mount. This was very easy to do. If anyone would like instructions on how to do this leave a comment or send me a message. It really was quite effective and does not require breaking anything so you can go back to the original mount at any time. This does mean tho that the mirror is now a permanent feature. But its fixed on pretty solid so you would have to break it to steal it making it useless. Trying the various suggested positions on the bike, crossbar, stem, fork leg, inner handlebar and outer handlebar, I found that the only place I could really get a decent enough view of the road behind, was when the mirror was mounted to the top of my right bar end. The mirror itself seemed smaller, once it arrived, than I thought it was going to be and the impression I got from the pics. But I don't think this is a too bad as I didn't want to upset the profile of my handlebars too much by using this. I did find it pretty fiddly at first trying to find the right angle to view the road behind, but once I got in position I was quite pleased with the view it provided. Even as small as it is, thanks to the convex mirror you get quite a decent view. With a little head tilting you can see even more. So in summary. On the upside, its's very cheap, it looks cool, its easy to fit/remove, its very light and fundementally works as a mirror just fine. On the downside, the clamp/strap is poorly conceived and does not clamp very effectively. Easy to knock out of position. Definite case of getting what you pay for. Does the job, not perfectly, but cheaply. Would recommend for those trying to trick out their bike on a budget.

If you're thinking about buying your first bike mirror then just do it. Once you get into the habit of using it, riding will become so much safer. This mirror takes seconds to fit and adjustment is easy. I have one fitted on my road bike on the inside of my drop bars (right hand side of the bike) right at the end, just next to the bar plug (see photo). In this position it's discreet and out of harm's way. Also it seems to be at the right angle for riding on the hoods or the drops! I really like the design of this mirror. It's quite small but you really don't want something too big that'll get knocked or make your bike look stupid. It's lightweight, inexpensive and of good quality. I've had mine fitted to the bike for several years now and it has not deteriorated at all, despite riding all year round. Some other reviewers have commented on the mounting system being inadequate but I can tell you that if you strap it to soft bar tape (as I have) then it is going nowhere. It doesn't rattle out of position or anything. All my mates think I'm a goon for putting a mirror on my road bike but I don't care.

It was a lot smaller then I thought although I did note others had said so in their reviews. But being small, it do the job on my scooter and make it road illegal . My scooter folds up so being small did however help by not getting in way of folding parts. It fits easy, you can see behind and do help. Bradley

This is a great piece of kit. I have just bought a second hand bike and was struggling to find a mirror to fit on the quite thick and sturdy and 'bulls horn' shaped handlebars. Looked at several before I found this one - and none of them were either wide enough or able to fit the shape of the handlebars. This mirror is quite small, but seems to be versatile enough to fit almost anywhere on the bike, and gives good visibility. Really useful if, like me, you're not quite still agile or flexible enough to be able to turn round far enough for a quick 180 degree check while cycling - and for general safety awareness of what is on the road behind you. Fully recommended.

bon rendu, notamment pour la distance qui sépare le vélo de la voiture qui suit, ce qui n'est pas le cas d'autres rétros....

I sometimes bike long distances to work and this has been useful especially when I'm riding on big roads. I like how this can be placed in different parts of the bike.

Nice small convex mirror, which you can install anywhere (some limitations). My bike grips do not have the end caps, and I don't want to have mirrors looking like antennas. This mirror meets my needs except quality of convex mirror (little bit distorted like the one in haunted house). You can see your rear clearly, but little wobbly. This might be due to its oval shape. Main objective is to see whether you are safe to maneuver, and this offers the rear view. Installation is easy with rubber strap, and adjustment is breeze (easy to adjust its postion for optimal view). Before using this, please make sure to remove protection film so that the view is less wobbly. Overall, great rear view mirror with a rubber strap. Safe Riding!!!

Se puede colocar en distintos diámetros de tubos gracias al amarre de goma con muchas posiciones. El amarre no es rígido por lo que ante golpes en vez de romperse simplemente se mueve y eso tiene fácil remedio. El espejo es pequeño pero es lo que buscaba, algo que me permitiese ver sin que su tamaño fuera excesivo. Al ser un espejo convexo la imagen es menor y aparenta estar más lejos de lo que en realidad está, lo que es normal en este tipo de espejos. Perfecto para lo que lo quería, lo volvería a comprar.

5,4 x 4,3 cm klein. Für Fitnessbike gerade richtig um eine sportliche Note zu behalten. Da der Spiegel etwas vergrößert ist die Sicht noch ausreichend. Durch den Gummispanner wackelt oder zittert der Spiegel auch auf Katzenkopfpflaster nicht. Der Gummi könnte etwas robuster sein. Hab einen kleinen Gummi zusätzlich zur Sicherung angebracht. Verstellbarkeit ist filigran (mm Sache) aber geht gut. Einzige logische Anbringung ist am Bar End, alles andere führt zu nichts. Passt an den recht dicken Ergon Bar End's. Ohne Spiegel wußte man gar nicht was hinter einem los ist , jetzt sehe ich wenigstens ob die Straße frei ist. Somit kann ich zur Anschaffung raten. Für 5 Sterne reicht es nicht , dazu müßte die Gummihalterung stabiler sein. Für ein gut reicht es aber allemal. Nachtrag: Nach 2 Wochen Nutzung erhöhe ich auf volle Punktzahl u. 5 Sterne. Das kleine Ding hat sich viel besser bewährt als erwartet. Sicht nach hinten ist ausgezeichnet. Absolut kein wackeln oder zittern auch auf schlechter Straße nicht. Wirklich sehr gut. Rad ist umgekippt und voll auf den Spiegel gefallen, nichts abgebrochen oder kaputt am Spiegel. Der Spiegel der das aushält muß sehr Robust sein !!
