i'm planning on buying picrel

>>2073535
i've been wearing a mirror on my wristband for years

>>2073535
what are you, a woman?

>>2073536
I have this exact set. They're actually really good for the 10-20 bucks you usually find them at even on zamazong. I wish the arms were a little longer, but whatever.

>>2073536
Hold them in your hand while riding and feel how much drag they generate. I'm sure they are fine if you're slow and don't mind looking like a huge boomer dork.

>>2073537
I have one and it works pretty well but is still so small you have to check it from a very specific angle despite it being convex. So if you move around between hoods and drops you'll have to choose a position for checking it.

Also tried the IRBM meme and it is indeed a meme. I think mirrors in general are a meme on a bicycle, just do a shoulder check. You should still be doing a shoulder check despite using a mirror anyway, so why not just ditch the mirror?

>You should still be doing a shoulder check despite using a mirror anyway

usually people who use mirrors either have mobility issues and physically can't do a shoulder check or are riding some shitty full-upright and doing one would result in their swerving all over the place. or both.

>>2073535
no

Only slow faggots use mirrors, they`re extra grams and drag and will lose you the Podium

You may as well wear a full parka and have reflectors on your bike

Couldn't be me

I'm actually fast

Unlike you

You're a faggot
And faggots go to the back of the peloton

>>2073575
nice mirrors just look cool and create a cuter profile, a full shoulder check is not necessary if you're just concerned about the overall traffic state behind you but not maneuvering out of your lane, and they're useful for sneakily checking out MILFs/GILFs/DILFs/Deer/etc walking the opposite way on the trail

>>2073543
Kek OP really rattled some cages.

>>2073650
Yeah, I was being biased. A mirror can look alright on the right kind of bike, just none of mine. I've always had the IRBM on my winter beater: >>2064504 but forgot it was there years ago and never look at it.

trieye

its pretty good, cant ride without it
dont get a tinted one if u actually gonna ride though, I have had to take them off cus it was getting dark and its so bad when you have gotten used to them

anyone who recommends these tiny fucking mirrors mounted in some stupid place has never actually tried to use them seriously in actual traffic. either the the FoV is so narrow that it's useless, or the image is so "zoomed out" that it's useless for actually seeing anything of interest let alone properly gauging distance or movement of a contact

there's a reason cars and motorbikes just use normal mirrors.

zipties are the convention in tri-memery and are often found used to secure full-length cable housing & brake hoses on mtbs

>ZIP TIES, the third-most most hick of hick nonsense
for your sanity I would strongly suggest that you never spend any time in small airplanes. if you're this mad about zipties on a bicycle, the kinds of shit you see in the aging cessna/beech fleet would break your mind

>>2073752
I literally work at a flight school and even the plywood and fibreglass sheeting mock-up has way too many fucking zip ties and we find more flash from them every time something breaks. real niggas either use velcro ties or assemble a proper wiring harness with the nice expandable braided shit (and then give up and just use velcro ties when one(1) thing needs repair and the braided shit has to be removed)

zip ties are incompetent on structural parts but are overtly satanic on wiring, just use the velcro ties or install proper raceways

in any case for something attached to your bars use a proper clamp with a bolt or go full hick and hose clamp that shit (or full poorfag and just tape it)

>>2073753
>velcro ties

I've never tested velcro ties but if you do use them make sure the fabric component won't combust or smoke. Zipties are standard for a reason.

>>2073755
zipties will melt easily and velcro ties tend to be made of nylon or polyester and melt around the same time any wiring does

the point stands that if you're attaching mirrors to your bike, they should be on there with a real clamp. or at least if it's designed to be zip tied, not be a flat plate and have grooves milled/cast into said plate so it can seat properly, and if it has to mate at more than one point, have some kind of proper adjustible armature (i.e. throw it on a rod with perpindicular screws to seize it, or make it one long threaded rod, or SOMETHING other than "lol flat plate tied on to toobs")

the mounting in >>2073594 is absolutely niggerlicious for a variety of reasons on top of the product itself being dumb as fuck

>>2073756
>nylon or polyester and melt around the same time any wiring does

I was speaking of using velcro ties in an aviation context, which is not a good idea. Aviation spec insulation remains stable at much, much higher temperatures.

>>2073757
red herring, you are using a thinly veiled "MUH JET TIME" post to hide that the mounting method in >>2073594 is objectively poor even for the low quality hardware in use, and arranged even such that the low quality hardware is under load/strain it is not designed for and likely to fail prematurely

>>2073760
I posted that image BECAUSE it is so dumb and ridiculous. You turned the tables by suggesting the use of actual fire hazards. So point to you...

>>2073762
imagine using a mounting method that will both fall off AND catch fire. couldn't be me. in my world we have METAL PARTS that hold fast by THREADING to use INTERFERENCE to create CLAMPING FORCES over WIDE AREAS

>>2073765
I guess now we know why you don't get any jet time

>>2073767
the actual turbine fan blades is are permanently affixed to its housing with over ten, maybe as many as twelve pre-stressed fittings, please understand

Why would you put mirrors on ? You're using up valuable grams and losing watts...

>>2073814
not only is OP slow (wants to know what's behind him) but also poor (can't afford a radar)
