IMO, all these mirrors get in the way (except for the OP's referenced Mirrycle which attaches to STI lever unobtrusively - wish they made a campy version). I started using helmet mirrors for this reason years ago. Been using the Cycleaware Reflex for nearly a decade now, works pretty good
Me too, I think I've tried nearly all mirrors available. I have tried helmet mirrors but haven't got on with any of them.

I made a mount to support a rechargeable battery from aluminium, that died from fatigue as well, a long way from home and just as it was getting dark (the battery was for the lights).
Makes you wonder if aluminium is really a suitable material for frames...
