Rough start but ended up loving it! Jul 22, 2009
By Linda J
I would have given this 5 stars if it were not for the lack of instructions. I contacted customer service at Third Eye (only option is email) but I did receive a reply w/in the hour...from a real person who's customer service skills were so good that I decided to give it the 4 stars instead of the 3 I was going to rate it. By the time I got the reply I had figured the thing out from a picture on a competitor's website. The mirror is pre-assembled when packaged but often comes apart during shipping. The 2 large rubber pieces are supposed to slide over the screw. You then secure the whole thing w/the enclosed nut (be careful when opening package..the nut came flying out that I didn't know was there because of lack of instructions or list of what's included..i saw the nut on the competitor's site..it was a miracle I found it). Then screw clockwise into handlebar end. I was told by Shela at customer service not to screw it in too tight (needed info that should be included w/absent instructions) or the mirror could crack (I torqued mine so much that I bent the screw but was able to straighten it out). Shela also recommended locktite so it doesn't come apart. My mirror fell out of the handlebar end once but I had trouble getting it in all the way when I assembled it. When I put it in again I sprayed the inside of the handlebar w/cooking spray (don't use too much) & the mirror went all the way in w/ease. Make sure the head of the screw is seated when you start to turn.
Now for how it works. It's great! No vibration, real glass, and the convex shape gives a wide field of view. At one point I was so desperate for good mirrors that I even had bulky motorcycle mirrors mounted. Third Eye is smaller & works way better w/a larger field of view than those motorcycle mirrors ever did (& I had motorcycle mirrors mounted on both sides & Third Eye still gives me a larger field of view only mounted on 1 side). Overall I'm very happy with the product!

 Best for install and use... Apr 04, 2009
By Anita Lewis
The Third Eye Bar End mirror is the best I've used. I cut a hole in the end of my left handlebar grip, poked the end of the mirror in, and turned the mirror clockwise to tighten it in place. It has little gear like things that expand as you turn it. Fantastic idea. It is in there solidly. It does pivot some for precise adjustment. It give a great view. There were some extra gears(not sure what they are really called) in the package for handlebars with bigger diameter.

This is a GREAT Mirror Jun 12, 2009
By Lexie Jean Gillmore
I have on of these mirrors on my bicycle aka "Betty Bike" I have tried other mirrors in the past but there always was so much vibration that they were almost useless. The area where I live, "Mobile County Alabama" there are no paved bike paths or trails of any kind, so your out there competeing with the cars and trucks on the road, so it is absolutely necessary to have a good mirror so you know what is coming up behind you and this mirror the the BEST, There is no vibration so you know what traffic is behind you.
Is this mirror worth the money? Is your life important to you? If you said HELL YES then GET THIS MIRROR.

 Flops around; hard to see Dec 02, 2009
By David Brown
"(one of thousands of Dave Browns...)"
The mirror itself attaches to its base via a swivel joint secured by a sort of threaded rivet and matching bolt that tries to clamp the two hard plastic pieces together. After about 20 miles of biking on paved roads, it now flops around at the slightest bounce. While it can be tightened, the slot is rather shallow and wide and made of a very soft metal (probably aluminum) such that the screwdriver on my pocketknife chews it up trying to get it tight enough. I suppose that's one way to avoid getting enough compression to crack the plastic (as I've had happen on other mirrors). (The slot is too shallow for a coin.) Maybe I'll file the inner plastic arm down and try putting a bit of rubber in there. Very disappointing as the connection between the mirror's base and the handlebar is excellent and unlikely ever to budge from where I put it.
Additionally, before you buy this, take a good look at the position of your left arm and forearm as you bike. I hadn't realized mine entirely blocks my view of where this mirror goes, so I have to move my arm every time I want to look in the mirror.
Between having to frequently tighten it or push it back into position and move my arm, it's not much of an advantage over just turning around to look behind me. I can't rely on it to actually show me what's behind me, especially when biking in the dark.

Solid product, simple to install Jun 04, 2008
By T. Williams
This is a well-crafted mirror. Installation took about 60 seconds. The adjustability is good, and once it is put into place, it does not move.
I'm actually using this mirror on my motorcycle. It works great!
