Reddit mentions of EVT Safe Zone Bicycle Helmet Mirror

I use one on my helmet and as dorky as it looks, I came to rely on it very quickly, and it's super helpful.

Edit: this is the one I use.

This is the mirror: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LVHZ4O/

I have a Rohloff Speedhub, and that is the standard Rohloff shifter. mounted on the bar end: https://www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/twist-shifter/index.html

Have you thought about one of these? A guy I used to work out with had one of these but he wore it on his glasses somehow.

Also, has anyone tried one of these mirrors? How do they work?

You're looking at some attachment like these guys:

That's all I can think of, props for figuring it all out and getting the blades on!

Just leave the mirror affixed to the helmet permanently. I find I rarely need to adjust mine. I got this one. It gives a fairly large field of a view compared to this one which I've also used.

I really really like this one. Can't ride without it.

I spent $600 on an entry-level road bike and about another $600 on accessories last month. First time biking since I was a kid with a budget MTB. Pretty happy with my current setup outside of my evil saddle.

Here are some accessories I got which I think are potentially missing from your list or are just good fits for what you want (not going to talk about stuff like a saddle bag since the right choice for that differs by person/bike):

• Cell phone mount if you want to use your phone for whatever reason (music and GPS for me)
  
• More comfortable saddle/gel cover (my stock saddle is torture and my gel cover doesn't completely help, will probably buy a better saddle at some point)
  
• Cycling socks/cycling shoes/clipless pedals (Not sure what would be stock/default for you. It was my first time using clipless pedals with the purchase last month. I am very comfortable with them now. I recommend swapping to the pedals you want sooner rather than later.)
  
• Maybe go with a CO2 inflator and cartridges if you don't want to carry a pump with you
  
• Reflective vest if you want to bike at low visibility
  
• Helmet mirror if you are the least bit concerned about vehicles
  
• Multi-tool like this
  
• Get degreaser and lubricant for monthly chain maintenance
  
  Try to get a bike fit done. Those can be expensive though. The best tip I can share regarding fit from my limited experience is "your saddle is probably too low".

PTSD: You've got it. Please engage with a professional to discuss your psychological damage. This isn't your fault and you aren't broken. Someone/thing lumped a huge burden onto your shoulders and, in most cases, it requires the trained help of a professional.

I'm sorry this was done to you. FWIW, I consider my helmet mirror to be my most important piece of safety equipment. It's absolutely worth the $40

The EVT Safe Zone mirror is the best helmet mirror. No arguing!

Go forth and live in the future with this bad boy.

Safezone mirror is my favorite. Huge and looks dorky as hell, but it's the only one I haven't found to be frustrating to use. 40 bucks on Amazon but if you're in the pacific NW most likely you can find it for half that at bike stores.

I use this one:

Attaches to the helmet. Larger than some others. Pretty stable when riding. The trick is getting it adjusted. Before you ride you stand and fix the mirror so you can see the edge of your left shoulder.
