My mirror is a mostly plastic job that has become loose on its swivel and is more of a nuisance than
help sometimes. Yesterday I was talking to someone who moved here a few years back from the East
coast, and she said back there she could get a wire frame mirror that worked well.
She described a wire spring clip for firm attachment to the helmet rim. The mirror arm attached
to that, and then the mirror itself was on a pivot. Sounded pretty good to me. Anyone know if
it's still in production, and where to get it? (probably mailorder, apparently not available at
Seattle shops.)
Other ideas welcome. I suppose if I had any pride I'd make some out of old spokes, and tape on my
current mirror. Honestly, as I type this I wonder if the above design will work so well for me
anyway, since the problem is that I tend to walk around with my helmet under my arm about as much as
I ride with it on my head. An arm that will swivel out of the way on impact is probably ideal, as
long as it will stay firmly enough when deployed.
Thanks Donn
