Brett founded EVT in 1999 with the mission of building better bike tools. One day, as Brett ran a lathe in his machine shop, he came to a realization about the “Loc-Line ®” hose directing coolant at the cutting tool of his lathe. This coolant hose exhibited characteristics ideally suited as a design element in the perfect bicycle helmet mirror… it bent easily and stayed put!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a lifelong believer and retailer of helmet mounted mirrors, Brett was frustrated with the limited view, failed adhesives, flimsy plastic and bouncy wires that made existing mirror designs irritating. He designed this rugged mirror incorporating the “Loc-Line ®” hose elements, a very large mirror, and a mounting system that is clearly superior to competing products.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrett used the mirror on his commute to his “day job” as General Service Manager of the Bike Gallery in Portland, Oregon. Eventually, Bike Gallery’s head buyer noticed the mirror, and said “Why don’t you make some of those for us, and we will sell them?” The rest is history!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginally, Brett machined the base plate in his shop and assembled the mirror with nuts and bolts. This resulted in a mirror that was functional and sturdy, but homemade in appearance. To improve mount-ability, ease of assembly and appearance, the design evolved to an injection molded product it is today.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully adjustable Loc-Line industrial hose elements allow nearly infinite positioning of the mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZip tie or hook-and-loop strap mount with no adhesives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy construction does not vibrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuge 2.25\" laser-cut acrylic mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy\/secure mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasily detachable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits most helmets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpact resistant components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnparalleled 5 year \"no-fault\" warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the U.S.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Efficient Velo Tools","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Each","offer_id":43768298602668,"sku":"GM072321-76","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8319\/4028\/files\/EfficientVeloToolsSafeZoneHelmetMirror.jpg?v=1724699742","url":"https:\/\/planetcyclery.com\/products\/efficient-velo-tools-safe-zone-helmet-mirror","provider":"Planet Cyclery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
