Blackburn Bike Helmet Mirror – Reviews

I found this unit useless. I found it impossible to adjust so that I could see the road behind and when I held it in place I could not easily focus on the road behind. There may be a better way to adjust it, but the instructions don’t tell you how.

I ride on suburban back roads (mainly) where there’s not too much traffic, but I like to listen to music while riding so I knew I had to know what’s coming up behind me. It took me about a week to get used to this mirror. Now I wouldn’t want to ride without it. Its the only mirror I’ve ever used so I can’t compare it or really comment on the quality. I’ve had no problems and the mirror gives me a clear view. Oh yeah, the directions are useless !!

I used this mirror for the first time today on a 15mi ride and it worked well. It was easy to attach and adjust, providing a view of what’s behind me. It came with 3 double sided adhesive pads, so if one doesn’t work, the other 2 should.

I was hesitant to buy it after all of the negative reviews, but happy with the purchase. Does it work as well as the rearview mirror on your car? No, it’s the size of a quarter and attached to a moving object (your head). Does it let me see the cars and other bikers coming up behind me? Absolutely.

I don’t know why some of the other reviewers have been saying the arm is too short… that’s just strange. Unless the mirror is touching your eye, you’ll still be able to focus on the things behind you – you’re not trying to focus ON the mirror.
Unlike my previous mirror, a Third Eye (reviewed elsewhere), this Blackburn mounts on the OUTside of the helmet, which is an improvement in my mind. The glue pad seems sufficiently strong for now, but I’ve only had it on for a month or so. It’s also incredibly light, which I suppose is good. Also, the inner point of the ball-and-socket joint (nearest the helmet) has an allen setscrew to allow you to lock it down in place once you’ve got a good adjustment. That’s a nice feature; my Third Eye was always wandering around whenever I brushed it against something.
On the negative side: the lightweight quality of the arm does cause a problem in that EVERYTHING IS BLURRY when you ride. Yes, it vibrates like crazy. You can see what’s back ther
