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.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT MIRROR
I don't know why other reviewers have had such a hard time installing this. It takes two minutes and your good to go. I love the eliptical shape. It makes it very easy to see what's going on behind you. Unless you are mechanically challendged, buy this mirror, you will love it.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Bikesickness
This mirror is really wobbly. I've tightened it and changed the position, but it is so wobbly that I can't use it. It makes me queasy. It also falls off. I would not recommend it. Waste o' money.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Falls off
Mirror size is goood...buuuuut Mirror is constantly bobbing out of alignment. Unlike a car mirror, you have to reset after going over even smaller bumps. More cheap bike junk.

Bad design. A fitting slides into your handlebars. A screw expands the fitting so the mirror *should* stay in.

They give you a rubber boot for smaller handle bars. As the rubber wears down, the mirror doesn't stay in. There doesn't appear to be any way to clamp the thing to the handlebars




Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Falls off every time I go over a bump!
I bought this mirror today at my local bicycle shop, and will be returning it tomorrow. The piece that inserts into the handlebar is a flimsy piece of plastic, and the insertion is so shallow that just a few minutes of vibration during street riding, plus gravity, were all it took to dislodge the thing and send it to the sidewalk.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - acceptable after some hacking (literally)
this is my third bike mirror in nine years, the second of this model. the first eventually fell off in traffic during a ride because i didn't know i had to periodically tighten the clamp.

the second was manufactured by Mirrycle, and worked great until the glass broke in an accident.

i went back to the blackburn because it looks cool and has a wide, clear viewing area, however i had to cut nearly half of the insert off with a jigsaw to get it to fit inside the bar end ... Read More
