Mirror Replacement
Jan 27th, 2021, 12:41pm
 
My left side Mirrcycle mirror broke on yesterday's ride. It lodged against the tire and partially melted before I came to a stop. I'm sure the e motor contributed to that.  
 
I removed the broken mirror this morning and dreaded having to buy the same crappy Mirrcycle brand mirror again. Then I happily remembered that I had a couple of the super great Hafny mirrors on a couple of seldom ridden old bikes.
 
The installation of these mirrors only took a couple of minutes not including fine tuning adjustments on the road.
 
The Hafny mirrors are by far the best mirrors I have ever used. They are a snap to install and adjust. They are also very sturdy and don't vibrate like the fragile Mirrcycle mirrors.

Really prefer the hafney mirrors myself.  At one point they were the stock mirror on the CT2.0, not sure that’s  still the case but I bought mine from Easy Street in Keller last year and will never spend money on mirrcycle again.
