JohnnieM Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hi EveryoneI'm new to bikes and I've got a lot to learn, both riding and maintenance.This morning one of my mirrors vibrated loose on a dual carriageway. Pulled over and managed to rotate it until it tightened enough to get me home.How do you tighten these mirrors fully.I've attached a photo but not sure if it will upload.ThanksJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marino Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Usually they tight up by rotating as you did, as well there is the nut that holds it and can be adjusted as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I zoomed in on your picture and to be honest I can't see how you tighten it up . Is there some kind of cap in there that pops out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I had a bike on which one mirror was always vibrating loose no matter how much I tightened it. Keep an eye on it and if it works loose again use some threadlock on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
