Is there any way to use a mirror when riding a bike that doesn't make you look like a complete and utter total fucking tool?
have it on the handlebars
>>2073535i'm planning on buying picrel
>>2073535i've been wearing a mirror on my wristband for years
>>2073535what are you, a woman?
>>2073536I have this exact set. They're actually really good for the 10-20 bucks you usually find them at even on zamazong. I wish the arms were a little longer, but whatever.
>>2073536Hold them in your hand while riding and feel how much drag they generate. I'm sure they are fine if you're slow and don't mind looking like a huge boomer dork.>>2073537I have one and it works pretty well but is still so small you have to check it from a very specific angle despite it being convex. So if you move around between hoods and drops you'll have to choose a position for checking it.Also tried the IRBM meme and it is indeed a meme. I think mirrors in general are a meme on a bicycle, just do a shoulder check. You should still be doing a shoulder check despite using a mirror anyway, so why not just ditch the mirror?
>>2073575>You should still be doing a shoulder check despite using a mirror anywayusually people who use mirrors either have mobility issues and physically can't do a shoulder check or are riding some shitty full-upright and doing one would result in their swerving all over the place. or both.>>2073535no
Only slow faggots use mirrors, they`re extra grams and drag and will lose you the Podium You may as well wear a full parka and have reflectors on your bikeCouldn't be meI'm actually fastUnlike youYou're a faggotAnd faggots go to the back of the peloton
>>2073575nice mirrors just look cool and create a cuter profile, a full shoulder check is not necessary if you're just concerned about the overall traffic state behind you but not maneuvering out of your lane, and they're useful for sneakily checking out MILFs/GILFs/DILFs/Deer/etc walking the opposite way on the trail
>>2073543Kek OP really rattled some cages.
>>2073650Yeah, I was being biased. A mirror can look alright on the right kind of bike, just none of mine. I've always had the IRBM on my winter beater: >>2064504 but forgot it was there years ago and never look at it.
