Brompton rear view mirror
I want to place an order with rosebikes for a rear view mirror.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these 2 mirrors on a Brompton:
1. Rose mirror: ROSE bicycle rear view mirror at a low price in the online bike shop
2. Busch and Muller mirror: B + M e-bike mirror 913 at a low price in the online bike shop
Are they compatible with the M-type handle bar on a Brompton?
Will I be able to fold the bike with the mirror on the left side of the bike?
Any other suggestion, but with an European dealer if possible?
Thanks!

The Zefal spin will fit on the left of the M bars and will not touch the ground when folded. You have to turn it so the mirror is under the handlebar. It has a small field of vision and can shift over bumpy roads but it's functional.
The previously mentioned Mirrycle mountain might also do the trick.

Zefal Dooback mounted reversely on M-bars, both left and right here.

If you mount to the vertical riser bend if the M bar it will be more protected from grinding against the pavement,
than the end of the bar.
than the end of the bar.

I use the RearViz mirror. The mirror is strapped to my arm. I've been using it for a month now and so far so good. I picked it up at NYC Bike Expo. RearViz - Rearview Bike Mirror - No vibration or distortion
