I saw some cheap "Bell" brand bike mirrors at the local K-Mart the other day. The flexible support was so thin and noodly that i doubt it would keep the mirror in one place over a bump. Can't figure what they were thinking when they designed this piece of #@!%. Absolutely useless.
Yup, I bought one of those at Wal-Mart and tried it just to see if it would work. Your guess was right, D*Alex. It is junk.
First of all, it was impossible to adjust. Second, it would not stay in place once you half-ass adjusted it. It broke in half the first day I used it. The "noodly support arm" tore off of the handlebar mount when I was trying to adjust it.
The bell mirror at K-Mart and Walmart is a Barbie Doll toy. Leave it for the kiddies.
The Target mirror from Schwinn is reasonably legit.
