Specifically, this mirror!

Does anyone know if this particular mirror is available by vendors in the US?

Never seen those before.

If I'm reading that right,the mirrors are 28mm across? That's pretty tiny. Esp that far away at the ends of your bars. I can't see them being that useful.

The 28mm lens should be enough to spot the 1 or 2 vehicles I usually encounter on the 25-50 miles gravel routes. And now that arthritis has set into my entire neck and upper back, a mirror will just add more enjoyment to my ride by providing peace of mind.

Never seen those before. Could be better than nothing if you can see anything thru them.

Have you considered Mountain Myrricle? They are awesome mirrors. There are many different models/mounting available.

Like you, mirrors are indispensable to my riding and enjoyment.

Thanks for help and suggestions. I had a similar larger mirror to that one and it vibrated and fell apart on the gravel roads after about 6 months.
