I have tried the mirrors that attach to your glasses and really don't like them. I own one and I used it on my first commute with the Taifun, but quickly switched to a bar mounted mirror.<BR/><BR/>I just got some B&M mirrors from the Hostel Shoppe. I am going to try one on the Taifun and see how it works. I have a short B&M on my Volae and it is awesome.Vikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214932277372519931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647801.post-23974054039009610972007-05-31T16:51:00.000-06:002007-05-31T16:51:00.000-06:00So what mirror have you settled on?

Always have best position when using glass mounted, as opposed to fixed mirror on handlebar, unless you use two.<BR/><BR/>BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647801.post-62208832549474581772007-05-31T16:28:00.000-06:002007-05-31T16:28:00.000-06:00Well I do get the most positive comments on this ...Well I do get the most positive comments on this bike compared to any others I own.
