Update - I just checked one of my original Mirrycles and it does indeed require a 9/64" allen key - which I no longer have.

So I tried the allen keys supplied with the new Road Mirrycle and they appear to be metric - 3mm & 2.5mm, even though the bolts are described as 5/8" and 7/8" (which fooled me into thinking they were still imperial).

Incidently, one of the bolts is overlength and has 3 washers on it to stop it bottoming out.

So, no need to carry an allen key around just to suit the mirror.

Just when you think it can't get any better....
