This mirror performed well until my bike fell over and smashed it. A rather expensive item to replace every time a bike falls down.

This is an edit of my review…
I must admit I did not like the assembly of this product, but once i got it on my bike and used it for many months I have to say that it has worked very well, and I have come to like it!!!! So, don’t hesitate to buy this product, just be prepared for a weird assembly process….
Pros:
there is nothing i like about this product yet, i just finished assembling it and I am not looking forward to using it now.
Cons:
nearly impossible to assemble.
the guy at the bike store actually told me not to worry about the design, “its already assembled”, i was going to ask, but why then all the diagrams on how to assemble on the box?? Turns out its NOT assembled, and its nearly impossible to thread the bolts on this item. plus there are six (!) washers for this one poorly designed mirror. This item was designed by a 10 year old and apparently they are in no hurry to redesign it. the instructions clearly state “the cap screws are an extremely tight fit when screwed into the brass inserts…”
Comments:
the “other” bike mirror was out of stock at our store, now i know why, but why the store personnel push this product is beyond me…. i am going back to the store to give them my review there as well.
Why all the other reviewers give this product five stars? am I the only one that could barely get the thing together? I bet those reviews are all written by the same person at the company that makes this product. They all sound like they are written by the same person. I have no ax to grind about this company, except that poor design should not be rewarded… if only Apple made one i would buy it and throw this one away.

Lousy design – A:Park you bike and this will get bumped out of position in public places B:Just a few bumps and the connection permanently loosens C:Mounting position is idiotic for a GLASS mirror due to inevitable bike falls..

AUTOMOTIVE QUALITY!!!!
What can be said about a bicycle mirror??
Well, in short, this mirror sets the standard by which
All bicycle mirrors SHOULD be judged! The “other” brand mirrors
aren’t anywhere near this quality!
NO-it may not survive the impact of your bike falling over-but would any other mirror??
Automotive mirrors DON’T SURVIVE light/mild impacts….Hmmm…..
Especially when this mirror mounts to the end of the handle bar!!
Anyone aware of a mirror like this THAT WILL survive a blow-contact me immediately!

The installation would have been easy except there was a hole punched into the handlebar of my bicycle beneath the handgrip. This caused an indentation on the inside of the handlebar that prevented insertion of the mirror. I had to grind this down before the mirror could be installed. The mirror is functional in every other way.
