Rear view mirror - bar end

[Stefan Mikes]

- notably, you can "fold" them inwards to bring your bike through doorways or other tight spaces.

You do not "fold" them. You install them in the inward and downward position.

Yes actually you do "fold" them or "swing" them inwards for doorways and the opposite obce your through said doorway . Fold was for lack of better word, hence the reason it was in quotes because you don't fold them like a towel. However, they are movable once installed

Or you can just leave the Mirrycle pointed inward.

Took some getting used to, but the rear view's still more than adequate, and the mirror gets knocked out of aim a lot less often.

You can get used to anything... but the view is far from best possible and in that position your arm/hand can easily get in the field of view.
The Hafny design is superior with no washers to deal with.. far better aesthetically and folds, swings, pivots and pirouettes

I tried that, didnt like it, but that was one of my points, its a great mirror because you can do all of those things with it if you choose to

@Jeremy McCreary two of my friends in Poland fell in love with your inclinometer and are buying it!

Mine fulfilled its 2 missions and is off the bike for now. These were (1) to teach me how to eyeball grades in the saddle, and (2) to test my impression that the grades reported by RideWithGPS (once a ride is closed out) are consistently too low.

As for (2), impression confirmed. The steepest pitch on a hill is typically at least 2-3% steeper than the steepest grade given by RideWithGPS. So when RideWithGPS puts the steepest part at 8%, it was really 10% or more.

Plan to remount the inclinometer now and then to keep my eye calibrated.

Another vote for the Hafny - currently have the 68mm convex stainless steel variant on my main ride.

Enough of a view to deal with traffic on the roads, and easy/compact when flipped down and out of the way when I reach the trails.
