Hi all, trying here before going to ebay. I was wondering if anyone is willing to sell a Cateye BM-45 bar end mirror.

Thanks in advance

It is annoying that so much cycling (and other) stuff is not available locally, distributors seem to have a very limited product range. I have got my BM-45 from Bike24 (Germany) in the past, about 12 euro but they have a 20 euro "shipping" fee so you need to purchase other things you need to make it worthwhile. In the past I have saved this amount on some items eg GP5000 about AUD10 cheaper (each) at Bike24 than best local, of course a lot of items (Shimano, Ortlieb, ....) are "not available for shipping to Australia" due to manufacturer / distributor restrictive anti competitive trade practices

PS the BM-45 are great, small but very effective, I wouldn't ride without them. Get more than one, they are pretty robust but fairly vulnerable hanging off the bar-ends

Thanks Bill. I'll look into it

Bikebug has them locally

A little bit OT, but I'm so glad to know I'm not the only cyclist over 12 years old that uses mirrors!
I have a BM-45 on my drop bar road bike and it is terrific.

Cheers, Graeme

I’ve got one (or something similar) somewhere. They are pretty useless - get knocked every time you lean the bike on something.
For flat bars a Busch & Muller Cyclestar is a better choice. They are available with a variety of stalks and mountings.
For drop bars the Italian Road Bike mirror is better.
