Hi All,
I am looking to get a good rear view mirror for my Surly LHDT. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

I swear by the Blackburn Multi Mirror. It fits into the bar end and you can adjust it for the right angle. It also swings out of the way when you are not riding.

I have bar end shifters so I don't think that will work. I'll check to see if they have one that mounts to the bars.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Mirrycle mirrors are the best IMO. You could mount a standard Mountain Mirrycle on your bar end or one of the "Evo" variants that Calhoun Cycle sells further up on your handlebars.

Uber Goober
I use a Cycleaware mirror that clips on my glasses.
I've tried several. One that glued to my helmet was too shaky. One that clipped to my helmet, wouldn't- the helmet shape is tapered wrong where it needs to clip on. With the Cycleaware, I put a loose rubber band around it so it can't be completely dislodged from my glasses if I knock it loose. The riders I know use several different kinds, it's not like everyone likes the same one.

The Mirrycle STI-mounted mirror is THE best, IMHO. It stays put, and allows a great view in all positions.
