Full details

FAQs
Is this mirror suitable for drop handlebars?
The Dooback 2 is specifically designed for bar-end mounting, making it ideal for straight or slightly curved handlebars. It is generally not compatible with standard drop handlebars unless they have specific bar-end adapter sections.
What is the mirror made of?
The mirror is made from unbreakable, chrome-plated ABS plastic, designed for durability and resistance to shattering.
How large is the mirror surface?
The mirror surface area is 56cm², offering a wider field of vision than many comparable mirrors.
Can I mount this mirror on the right side?
Yes, the Zefal Dooback 2 comes in specific left and right-hand versions. This guide is for the left-hand model (MPN: 4770L), but a right-hand version (MPN: 4770R) is also available.
Is the mirror easily adjustable?
Yes, the fitting orientation is fully adjustable, allowing you to tilt and swivel the mirror to achieve your optimal viewing angle.
What kind of bikes is this mirror best suited for?
It is ideal for city, leisure, and touring bikes, as well as e-Bikes, particularly those with straight or comfort-oriented handlebars.
Troubleshooting
Mirror is loose in the handlebar.
Ensure the mirror is fully inserted. If it remains loose, you may need to use a small shim or consider handlebar tape to create a tighter fit, depending on your handlebar's internal diameter.
Difficulty seeing clearly due to vibration.
While designed for stability, some vibration is inherent with cycling. Ensure the mirror is firmly seated. Riding on smoother surfaces can also reduce perceived vibration.
Mirror won't stay in the desired position.
Verify that the adjustment mechanism is tightened sufficiently. If the internal fitting has become worn, contact the manufacturer for potential replacement parts or advice.
