Description
The Busch & Muller Cyclestar 80 is a large faced rear vision cycling mirror that fits into your bar end. The Cyclestar 80 is the “big brother” of the original Cyclestar. By bigger they mean large diameter mirror face! By increasing the size of the mirror glass the field of vision is increased by 75%.
Popular for many decades amoung touring cyclists, you will be able to keep an eye on traffic without turning your head.
And if you already have a lot going on in your cockpit (head unit, light, handlebar bag, phone..) this mirror is the answer.
- Large field of vision
- Securely fits into the end of your handlebar
- Ultra adjustable
- Shatter protection
- Rust Resistant
Because all bikes & all set ups are different Busch & Muller make a number of mounting options. Short stem options are good for handlebars which have a strong curve. Or if you are concerned about adjusting to having this extra length on your bars!
However the longer the arm the easier it is to keep an eye on those far behind you. Making it useful for riding in large groups or on roads with high speed limits.
How do they fit?
The Cyclestar mirror has a 80mm diameter mirror face, and comes in a variety of ‘arm’ types.
These mirrors are designed to mount into the end of your handlebar. So they will take the place of the ‘end plug’ you probably have in your bars from your handlebar grips.
Something to keep in mind when selecting the length of the stem is how much ‘wider’ your handlebars will be. If your handlebars are quite wide, imagine that with a long stem option their effective length will now be 13 cm longer than that. So watch out for those close passers!
