        Comments about Cat Eye BM-500 MTB Mirror:

        Bought this as a replacement for the failed inch-square 'Heads Up' eyeglass-mount mirror that I tried first. Mounts easily and firmly, doesn't wobble, holds its adjustment where you put it - gives an excellent big wide view.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Cat Eye BM-500 MTB Mirror:

          I really wanted to like this mirror, but no matter how I placed it, I get a better view of my arm than the road behind me. It installed really easily, seems nicely, it can adjust very well, but the way the main arm is constructed, it puts it in a very poor position for being able to see behind me, which is the entire point of the mirror. I'm going to try a different one.

          Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Cat Eye BM-500 MTB Mirror:

          I owned this for about a year before it broke. The field of view is good and the unit is solid, however,the pain for me was always maneuvering my bike into my bike-locker at work with this attached. I would have to de-adjust it each time. So look out for that if you use a locker for your bike.
          Eventually the ball a socket joint broke, probably from the fatigue of continual adjustment.
          The mirror plastic tended to pop out of the frame from time to time but it always just snapped back in with no problems.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
