Using these helmet mirrors for years on every new helmet. Even though Garmin Varia tail light tells me when vehicle aproaching from the rear, a quick head tilt gives me visual confirmation of what's comming, and how close they may be when passing, while still seeing the road ahead. Also, when riding in a paceline, can keep track of riders behind, without losing site of rider in front.
Must be careful when adjusting angle so as not to detach from helmet. After securing in place with included adhesive disc, I seal the edges with silicone glue/sealer.
The bell is quite well made and has a persistent and loud friendly ring to it. The mount is quite sturdy. It would be nice if there was a way to modify it to comply with a garmin style quarter turn mount to free upo some handlebar space. You can actually "tune" the bell based on how tightly you attach it with the mount, but I suggest "just tight enough" to keep the loud, sound-carrying, pleasant ring going. You can also adjust the stike hammer for a stronger or light bang on the bell. This bell is especially useful on the busy canal and bike paths and on the very popular mountain bike trails up in North Scottsdale.
We didn't put one of the rear metal brackets on the fender. Had to get screws from the store as our Priority bike and a through screw, not a regular screw. Otherwise I loved the packaging and it went on very easily. Word of warning, that front fender is very long and can get in the way of stairs. But man these protect you and your bike from water and mud like nobody's business. This is our second set. The first is the metal variation that I've been using for a few years. A large ladder landed on my bike and broke a small insert bracket that you can purchase as a part for very little. Love these and will never buy any other brand.
I've been using these Third Eye Bar End mirrors for many years. They are simple to install, Very Clear to See what's approaching from behind you, and easily adjustable. I'm a big fan. The only reason I don't give them all 5 stars is because the mirror is made of glass and easily broken if you hit something or drop your bike. At times, I have replaced the 3" mirror when it was shattered (these are available from crafts suppliers pretty cheap, but it's a bit of a pain, to scrape the broken mirror pieces out and if you use the wrong adhesive, it starts to bleed thru the mirror) , so buy a couple of these just in case until they make the mirror less breakable :)
