I first discovered the Monkey Mirror in the Fall of 2011. Since then the Monkey Mirror has had an upgrade.
There have been a few improvements to the Monkey Mirror. First of all the Monkey Mirror is created out of an actual bike spoke. The improvement is that the spoke length is now a bit longer which makes it a bit easier for viewing. The difference is only about 5mm or so, but it does make enough of a difference to be noticeable. It also appears that the rubberized coating on the mirror is now a bit thicker than before. Finally, the mirror is now finished off with a clear coat. The previous mirror had an issue with water being able to sneak in between the mirror layers causing discoloration in the mirror itself along the edges. The clear coat which is now being applied should put an end to that problem.
The manufacturer of the Monkey Mirror also recommends applying a car wax to the backside of the mirror a few times a year to help prevent it from fading. As before, you can have a custom image applied to the back of the mirror and this is cool for velo clubs or organizations.
I really enjoy using the Monkey Mirror. It’s Made in the USA and of good quality.
I’ve just discovered a great new mirror for cycling. It’s called the Monkey Mirror. It is a helmet mounted mirror–nothing new about that–but with a couple notable improvements over what you may be familiar with. The Moneky Mirror is handcrafted in the United States and that’s a big plus in my book. You could spend the same amount of money on an imported product and you’d be getting something of dubious quality and probably made of some sort of plastic. The quality of of the, Made in the USA, Monkey Mirror is top-notch: It has a hand-polished mirror that is larger than other helmet mounted mirrors that I’ve seen. The mirror is locked into final position by a small nut. The mirror is ingeniously attached to the helmet by an actual bicycle spoke It’s more sturdy than the plastic mirrors, is easily adjusted and has no parts that could snap or break off. 
The Money Mirror does not attach to your helmet using a conventional sticky-tape backed, plastic mounting plate. Instead it uses good ol’ friction provided by a spring-like metal rod which is actually a wheel spoke. Pretty cool. The implications of this are that you can easily remove the mirror from a helmet and switch it over to a different helmet. 
The mirror is a bit larger than the other helmet mirrors I’ve seen. Once you get it adjusted just right, it is out of your direct line of sight but right there when you need to check behind you for traffic. It’s decidedly better than the other plastic helmet mounted mirrors I’ve owned and since it’s mounted on your helmet, it is virtually vibration free. You can order these directly from the manufacturers website
