SprintechDropbar Mirror(Return to Product Page)

I got this to use in conjunction with a tail radar, which tells me something is approaching but not what it is. Had been surprised when a semi or a tour bus appeared at my elbow. With this, as the vehicle draws closer I can see how big it is and where it is in the lane, and react accordingly.

Simple, reliable way to check for vehicles that are following you, or are about to pass you. Unlike helmet mounted mirrors you don't need to rotate your head to view what's behind you. Helmet mounted mirrors are also easily bumped out of position. There is much less fuss with the bar mounted mirror. It gives you a good, wide-angle view of what�s behind you and you rarely need to tweek the position.

Sprintech drop mirror is compact, great vision and a must for my riding. It helps me keep track of cars and riders behind me. I have been using this mirror for over 20 years...

I have been using the left bar end Sprintech mirror for over four years and 5000 miles. The light weight and aero profile has not hindered my fast rides. The mirror is very useful for quick glances while riding paceline over sketchy roads when one might need to move into the traffic lane or to see if you have dropped the slower rider attempting to ride in the draft for the first time. The plastic mirror surface is still in great shape.

The only down side is that I usually bump it with my leg or arm during stops but it takes only a simple grasp of the bar end with the mirror to place it quickly in position.

Quite simply these are the best bar-end mirrors I've ever used. I've previously used two other brands, but both have considerable distortion. And, these other brands have finishes (the mirror) that are easily scratched.....hence my replacements. But, the last purchase was so distorted, although brand new, I decided to try these Swiss Made Sprintech mirrors. They're great!! Clarity is fantastic, no distortion, so a better rear view of on-coming traffic. Also, the mirrors are less convex than the other brands, so you get a more realistic rear view of traffic approaching you. Too early to tell whether they'll hold up for scratch resistance. Nevertheless, visibility is 100% better, so don't waste your money on the other brands.

Easy to install. Adjusts for good view.

Very cheap adjustment . When I move it to where I need to see it falls out of the ball and socket . If it stuck out more then I could move it enough to where it would be usable. Also the mirror itself should be a little bigger. Guess the co wants to save money on plastic. Stay away from this piece of junk.

I have been using this mirror for years. I decided to get a replacement. I bought one that looks exactly like this one but was not a Sprint tech. I was unable to ride with it. The mirror image was so distorted. Buy sprintec only

Objects appear a little smaller than in similar CycleAware mirror, but the mirror quality seems higher, as the image is undistorted pretty much right to the edge. The CycleAware image is larger but distorted near the edge which bothered me.

Easily installation. Had a pair that needed replacement. These are great and provide great vision. Completely satisfied.

Sturdy and good design, but I found that I needed to adjust it often. If your drops are pointed downward, it is sometimes difficult to adjust the mirror correctly.

Great safety product

I've been using these since '08 when I first started riding seriously. They work really well and of course are easy to adjust. If one tends to get out of adjustment easily, simply put a small piece of duct tape around the ball off the mirror for a tighter fit into the socket of the bar end.

True, these aren't in your peripheral vision like a helmet or glasses mounted mirror so you still have to remember to mirror check every now and then for faster riders approaching from behind. But then again, I don't have to worry about knocking it off the helmet or my glasses either when I'm off the bike. They are a bit overpriced for what they are but in the five years I've been using them I've only lost one due to a crash.

One final thought, ALWAYS turn to look when you have to cross the lane of traffic, even with ANY kind of mirror.

Being new to the sport of road riding (3 yrs. on a bike,) and also retired, I have an abundent amount of time to ride.

Not wanting to look to much like a Newbie Roadie, I hesitatated with the purchase of a bar end mounted Mirror. But having the ability to see behind my back at a glance, it makes for a safe and easy way to stay out of the way of possible traffic problems as well as watching for an attack by your friends. Sprintech Bar-End Mirrors are very well made and easy to use and live with. In comparison to the helmet mirror, that made me uncomfortable, Sprintech mirrors are a very good choice. I elected to use only one on the left side.

I have used these for a few years now, and have found them to be superior to the other bar-end mirrors on the market. They are easy to adjust, relatively stable when installed properly, and reasonably scratch proof. However, I use the mirrors only as a preliminary check for traffic. If traffic appears in the mirror, I wait for it to clear; when no traffic appears in the mirror, I look back to visually confirm that the road is clear before changing lanes. The mirrors are a good substitute for having to look around several times in heavy traffic, but the optics are not sufficient for the final decision to make a lane change. Overall, I feel that the mirrors add to both safety and convenience.

My wife likes them but I prefer the ones that attach to my bike mirror. The issue w these bar mounts is that they loosen and rotate when the bike hits a speed bump or the like. Eventually they just droop at the end of the bars and cannot be adjusted as the socket joint is too loose.

I have a couple of these. The image in the mirror is small but it's enough to see a car or a pack of riders coming with just a flick of the eye.

There's a lot less of the vibration you get with other mirrors. I do have to adjust the mirror if I hit a rough section or pothole.

make the mirror more firm in the rubber insert
