Accessories

I've used the original design for over a year with a few different saddle and post combos including carbon to aluminum rails and this has always been reliable. There was a great sale recently and I bought the Tropical Feather and I fell in love with the design and the added color to my bike. It disappeared yesterday on about the 5th ride it's been used.

This was a big surprise because I had this mounted correctly and it was bomber tight. There were some strong cross winds that must be responsible.

Now I really want another Tropical Feather for my bike, but I wonder if that wasn't part of the problem as the feel of it wasn't completely the same. I may decide to stick with the basic design since that has proven 100% reliable so far. No, I have to try one my Tropical Feather first to see if that was a fluke it really adds a nice touch! Darn it that it's gone already! Feathers are made to be lost so it is fitting.

Spircycle makes cool stuff. I have a few of their bells for various bikes, and I saw these mirrors and they looked intriguing. I ordered a few of these and finally got out to ride with one. Wow is my short summary review. That is Wow in a good way. They are easy to install in the bar end of a drop bar. The adjustability has a wide range to dial in whatever you want - I have other mirrors that run out of adjustability so that the mirror is not quite where you want/need it to be. That is a big deal since anything that inhibits you from easily seeing behind you is a safety issue.

I have teh 50mm versions and was worried that this would be too large, but it is perfect for me. I can also dial in the correct angle to show my thigh and then a great view behind me. You have things that are OK and then things that are just right and make you smile. The Spurcycle mirror makes me smile. Thank you Spurcycle for another great product!

I have several of these ...and some I actually purchased. But, I also find them on the road and the bike path. They work well for a small fender, but not as well as a standard fender will and these do nothing for anyone riding behind you. I've never lost one, but clearly people have had issues mounting them to their saddles or I wouldn't have one for every bike in my fleet! I have a few different vintages of these so the ones for sale here have a flip in the fold vs the older wing tabs, but I've found both versions on the ground. I love the one I purchased and the 3 other I've found. They really aren't that complicated to install.

My first hitch rack after years of roof mounts so I can�t comment on how it compares to other hitch racks. My spouse refuses to deal with this thing blocking her access to the rear lift gate so we only plan to keep it on for travel. Thus, easy REMOVAL was really important to us. Initially I was quite concerned with the weight, but I�ve had no trouble as you can carry it easily by the bike trays and similarly leverage it to remove from the hitch. No folding beyond what it does on your car so plan a little storage space if it will spend a lot of time OFF your car. Mounting and removing bikes is utter simplicity. Also love that the holding arms for each bike are independent and allow you to shift each bike in one direction or the other to reduce contact with pedals, bars, etc� simple. You need to crank down on those arms too so that you minimize movement. Lean into it pulling both sides together toward the middle for max leverage!! Also, if you have an auto with sophisticated backup collision avoidance, this rack (probably all of them) may cause fits for those systems. After much frustration over a few days, we found a way to temporarily disable ours. Check forums and manuals ahead to be prepared! Hitch mount is very solid, no movement, easy to tighten down in seconds after you attach to the auto. Not sure if all racks secure the hitch, but this one does have a nice pass-through bolt with a lock that would not be easily compromised. I also like the included cable lock that secures the bikes to the rack. Obviously not high security, but for a quick run into a restaurant or store on your next trip, it should do fine. Highly Recommend. Undoubtedly will outlast my car!!!
