Customer Reviews

I would have given this 5 stars if it were not for the lack of instructions. I contacted customer service at Third Eye (only option is email) but I did receive a reply w/in the hour...from a real person who's customer service skills were so good that I decided to give it the 4 stars instead of the 3 I was going to rate it. By the time I got the reply I had figured the thing out from a picture on a competitor's website. The mirror is pre-assembled when packaged but often comes apart during shipping. The 2 large rubber pieces are supposed to slide over the screw. You then secure the whole thing w/the enclosed nut (be careful when opening package..the nut came flying out that I didn't know was there because of lack of instructions or list of what's included..i saw the nut on the competitor's site..it was a miracle I found it). Then screw clockwise into handlebar end. I was told by Shela at customer service not to screw it in too tight (needed info that should be included w/absent instructions) or the mirror could crack (I torqued mine so much that I bent the screw but was able to straighten it out). Shela also recommended locktite so it doesn't come apart. My mirror fell out of the handlebar end once but I had trouble getting it in all the way when I assembled it. When I put it in again I sprayed the inside of the handlebar w/cooking spray (don't use too much) ; the mirror went all the way in w/ease. Make sure the head of the screw is seated when you start to turn.
Now for how it works. It's great! No vibration, real glass, and the convex shape gives a wide field of view. At one point I was so desperate for good mirrors that I even had bulky motorcycle mirrors mounted. Third Eye is smaller ; works way better w/a larger field of view than those motorcycle mirrors ever did (; I had motorcycle mirrors mounted on both sides ; Third Eye still gives me a larger field of view only mounted on 1 side). Overall I'm very happy with the product!

I have on of these mirrors on my bicycle aka "Betty Bike" I have tried other mirrors in the past but there always was so much vibration that they were almost useless. The area where I live, "Mobile County Alabama" there are no paved bike paths or trails of any kind, so your out there competeing with the cars and trucks on the road, so it is absolutely necessary to have a good mirror so you know what is coming up behind you and this mirror the the BEST, There is no vibration so you know what traffic is behind you.
Is this mirror worth the money? Is your life important to you? If you said HELL YES then GET THIS MIRROR.
