About Blackburn
In 1975, Jim Blackburn set out to design stronger, lighter, more innovative and more reliable cycling products. The first were bags and racks designed for touring. From there, Blackburn grew. Over the next 30 years, Blackburn’s spark of innovation would lead to many revolutionary products, like the first high quality aircraft aluminum rack, the first dual stroke minipump, the first oversized mountain minipump and the first dual stage/dual stroke floorpump just to name a few. For 2005, Blackburn’s creative spark is burning brighter than ever. And as we head into our 30th year, Blackburn is re-dedicated to designing smart, reliable, no nonsense accessories that are essential to your riding experience.

Es malo el producto by A. D. German
HabÃa visto buenos comentarios, sin embargo, cuando me llego el producto, e intente instalarlo en mi casco (Giro), me fue imposible es muy corto el “poste” y me fue imposible lograr fijarlo, se cae en todo momento.
basically worthless by Dana A. Nuccitelli
I was extremely disappointed in this mirror. For starters, the arm is just too short. You have to be able to put it on the very front of your helmet in order for the mirror to reach your field of view. On my helmet there isn’t a sufficiently large flat area on the front to use the adhesive.
On top of that, they include a two-sided adhesive (on side sticks to the mirror arm, the other to the helmet), but only one side of the adhesive is sufficiently sticky! It would probably work if you used two adhesives and stuck the less sticky sides to eachother, but they only give you 3 of the adhesive pads, so clearly they’re supposed to work by themselves.
The arm of the mirror is also rather flimsy plastic, and I was afraid I was going to break it during adjustments.
In the end, I used up all 3 adhesive pads and was unable to get it to stick to my helmet. I ended up just throwing the mirror away, because it wasn’t really long enough anyway. Don’t bother buying it - this mirror is worthless.
Needs getting used to, but will work fine. by Jennifer Davis-Wilson
I bought this after having a handlebar mirror that jiggles all over the place. This one doesn’t jiggle, but I’m not sure this is superior. It is nice to be able to see traffic behind you in your peripheral vision without having to consciously check. Looking at the mirror itself gives you a pretty clear picture of the traffic. I think it will work for me eventually as I get used to it, but here’s some caveats:
1. You must mount it so that only your left eye can see it. If you mount it too much in the front of your vision so that your right eye tries to look in it, your brain will get really confused. To figure out roughly where it needs to go, look straight ahead, cover your left eye and move the mirror until it just goes out of sight of your right eye.
2. Because of #1, you do need to look pretty far out of the upper left side of your eye. Overdoing this at first may give you some eye muscle strain! Better to use your peripheral vision most of the time.
3. It takes a lot of adjustment to get the mirror in the optimal position. I finally got the adjustment right and then the mirror fell off because of the heat + repositioned glue pad. Luckily they give you two extras.
5. Because the mirror is mounted on your head, it’s a bit counterintuitive seeing things. If you move your head, the image moves the wrong way! You have to move only your eyes.
So I’d recommend a handlebar mirror for most people, since they are easier to use. But if you’re set on a helmet mirror, I suppose this one will do fine, just be prepared to have it take some getting used to.
poor glue… ok mirror.. by G. Powell
I have had this mirror for 3 years and the glue failed. I suppose that’s the expected lifetime of this product, but I expected better.
I just mounted the mirror not directly in the front part of the helmet but more back and to the left. That gave me a pretty good view to the rear. So my complaint is the glue holding it to my helmet. The mirror is not as good as my current mirror, an eyeglass version by take-along, but that one has the issue of being too low by virtue of being on my eyeglasses. Oh well you pays your money and takes your choice.
Any mirror beats no mirror and this one works. Just be prepared to replace it after a while.
