Spurcycle Adds New Line of Mirrors as Classy as Their Bells
Spurcycle, the premium bicycle bell manufacturer (and my favorite bicycle bell), has announced its new line of rear-view mirrors. These new mirrors come in four different models, the C50, C70, R35, and R50. They attach to the end of your bar and help you get an eye on the happenings behind you. More than just a typical mirror though, the Spurcycle mirrors are designed with style that wont look out of place on your high-end ride. (Photos / Spurcycle)Why Ride with a Mirror?Youre probably reading this thinking Why should I ride with a mirror? Well, mirrors, like bells, will provide a safer environment while riding your bike, especially on the road. Riding with a mirror offers the reassuring feeling of being aware of your surroundings. It can keep you from twisting your neck and taking your eyes off of the road and terrain.Plus, if you ride with your kiddos in tow, Its important to be able to check in on them. Using a mirror is a smart, safe way to keep an eye on your muchkins. Spurcycle C Series MirrorsC50 and C70 MirrorRetail: $34 The C and the numbers 50, and 70 signify two different things on the C Series Mirrors. The C means that the C Series Mirrors are designed for City bikes, and not for use with drop bars. The 50 and 70 signifies the size of the mirror. The C50 has a mirror that is 50mm in diameter, whereas the C70 has a 70mm diameter. Just like their Original Bell, the C Series Mirrors are a perfect blending of form and function. Theyve been slimmed down to fit through doorways and get through tight traffic. Durable enough to handle the hustle and bustle of busy city activity.Even though the sizes of the mirrors are different, they offer the same refined, quality view, with a bit more field of view in the larger mirror. Both mirrors use tempered glass to ensure optical clarity. They also sport a robust, and rigid arm that minimizes image vibration.The secure ball & socket offer smooth, adjustable tension. These mirrors offer symmetric mounting so they can be used on either side of the bars. They are rebuildable and come with Spurcycles Lifetime Guarantee.Retail: $34SpecificationsMaterials:composite nylon with glass mirrorMirror size:50mm or 70mmWeight:73g C50 / 97g C70Origin:Made in China,Guaranteed for LifeFit:handlebar I.D. 14-21mmSpurcycle R Series MirrorsR35 and R50Retail: $30Like the C Series Mirrors, the numbers and letters have the same meaning. The R means these mirrors were designed for drop bars or road bikes. The numbers 35 and 50 are the sizes of the two options. Spurcycle says that they consider the R35 to be their pro (vanity) mirror, and the R50 their everyday touring model.The R Series Mirrors are designed for the modern drop bar bicycle and are not compatible with bars that have extreme geometry, or positions. Some ENVE bars without standard bar plugs may not work. If you have questions you can email photos of your setup and Spurcycle will help you out. The R Series Mirrors offer the same maximum utility from minimum form as all of Spurcycles products. Again, the same refined, quality view is available on either size, with the smaller size just being a smaller view. Tempered glass offers optimal clarity. These R Series Mirrors offer the same symmetric mounting as the C Series, so they can be used on either side of the bars.
