What is the best mirror system for a bicycle that actually works?

For me, the kind that clips to your helmet, so you don't have to look down, and you can scan the mirror by moving your head a little.

What is the size of the mirror and how is it mounted?  Email me for more details.

Your Bicycle shaped object as people in the KNOW refer to pedal powered two wheelers of that quality level has VALUE as long as it is being ridden..There is someone ,somewhere whose quality of life that bicycle will improve. Try to give it to that persons\n with it working ,or the resourses to make it work (i.e tires tube and a patch kit)\n\n\nANYHOW-The Firenze bicycles were used in promotionial campaigns and have the type of issuses that cause many bike shops to refuse to service them..becuase ,they feel they can not ever make them function to their expectation and saftey standards..here in the greater S.F. Bay area those bicycles were given away by MATHEEWS- top of the hill DALY CITY stereo store ,whose motto for a few years was GeT A STEREO GET A BIKE!! thats where your bike is from..\n\nFirst they had red mens and ladies framed 10 speeds, it was roumered that they had spent nineteen dollars a unit on those -the grey mountain bikes were supposedely 29 bucks..\nAll that being said it- sure beats the heck out of walking, if its more than a few blocks ,and its a better bike than 80% of the people that ride bikes becuase they have no other choice;i.e. china india, get to ever ride-- anyhow..don't put more than twenty or thirty bucks into that bike...

forget the choices you have I'd suggest a Giant STP..you can get a 07 frame for $300 or talk to your local Giant dealer about a 2006 stp complete bike, I know right now giant is blowing them out to make room for the new stuff. the STP (Street,Trails,Park) is a sweet bike, the geo. is perfect for street or DJ and it rides well on the trails\nI have owned a P bike and a Cowan before and will never go back now that I ride a STP

You would have to contact Landrider directly if you are looking for parts for the autoshift system. Their website is http://landrider.com. The autoshift feature is a design used exclusively by Landrider and the parts are not generally available in bicycle shops.

Perhaps you are thinking of SR Suntour.  They make components for bikes but I don't think they make bikes.\n\nHere is the SR Suntour weblink:http://www.srsuntour-cycling.com/standard.xml?vpID=113

I am an "ordinary cyclist", maybe even less than "ordinary" and it works for me.  I use a rim drive trainer with a mountain bike.  Extremely boring though.

There are a lot of things to consider first. How old is the bike? What kind of condition is the frame in? How often and what type of riding do you do?\n\nIf the bike is very old you might want to consider getting a new one. Newer bikes have features that you may not have on your bike. For example, more gears, lighter parts, better brakes, etc. Buying a new bike may get you a lot of features that you would not get by having this one fixed. On the other hand, you may not need any of these and your old bike was working just fine until  you started having all these problems.\n\nCheck the frame out for wear or damage. If the frame is steal, which I'm guessing it is based on the price you paid, check for rust especially around the spots were the welds are. If the frame is starting to rust, you would just be throwing you money away by adding new parts to a bad frame. If the frame is aluminum and you do any kind of regular riding, consider getting a new bike if this bike is more than 5 years old. Aluminum has a fatigure limit and the frames generally wear out after about 5 years of regular use.\n\nFinally, if you are just a casual rider and use the bike for fun and just getting around on, you may be able to skip some of the repairs they quoted you and just get enough done to keep the bike moving. However, if you ride a lot or ride off road, you will want your bike to be in the best shape possible. $140 is not a lot to pay for a tune up, including adjusting all the deraillers and cables. Drive train parts wear out over time and need to be replaced. If you get a new bike, considering spending a bit more to get a quality bike that will last a long time. $200 is not a lot to pay for a new bike and investing a little more might get you a much better bike. Not only will it last longer but you will have a better experience riding it.\n\nIf you are really interested in keeping this bike and don't want to pay the bike shop to fix. Most of the repairs can be done at home with a few simple tools. Get a repair manual from your bike shop and you should be able to fix most anything yourself. Just be careful when taking things apart that you remember how to put them back together.

to solve your problem with minimal work, just bring your bike into a LBS and they should have the tool to take it out, shouldnt cost you a dollar or two, they might just do it for you for free! \n\nCheers

First, any Haro is a GREAT bike. I own a bike shop and haro's are hard to get because people always buy them. they can easily be upgraded.If you are looking for a flatland freestyle bike, go check out www.flatlandfuel.com. The KHE, KGB, and DK's anre good, but the best beginner bike is the DK signal. For your purposes, the Nyquist 3 is a great choice.

Go with fenders.  If speed is not a concern, fenders will keep you and you bike cleaner.  Fenders deflect mud and grit that can work themselves into nooks and crannies of the bike's moving parts such as chains, bottom brackets, and headsets.

What is best depends on what you want to do with it. Do you want to take pictures? If yes, you need an equitorial mount, so a dob won't be for you. Otherwise, a dob tends to have the largest mirror for the price. Many astronomical objects for beginners are actually fairly large in the sky, but they are *dim*. You want a large aperature to collect as much light as possible.\n\nIt's agood idea to find a local astronomy club and ask to look through some scopes. Then you can figure out what it is you want. I personally have a 12.5" dob which I am happy with.
