Hi, could anyone tell me how to stop my mirror stems from slipping, i've tightened the brackets up real tight, bit after even a short ride, they move about.

One answer is to use a small piece of bicycle inner tube as a gasket. The other is to take them off and throw them away.

Also check the clamps are gripping the stem and are not just closed up on themselves.

Thanks, I think i'll try the former, too expensive to throw away, cheers, Mick.

Wich brackets do you mean ? Are your mirrors on the headset or mounted on stems on crashbars?

Wrap Skateboard grip tape around the stems under the mirror brackets. You need to make the stems under the brackets thicker.
