Bar ends and Mirrycle mirror on Trek FX 3

• Thread starter Crows Eye
• Start date 3 Aug 2020

Hi, anyone put both bar ends and a bar end (Mirrycle) mirror on a Trek FX 3 or any Trek with a Isozone grips? I just bought and installed the Mirrycle mirror with the Isozone adapter on my bike while I wait for the bar ends to arrive at the store. But I just watched a video about installing the bar ends. These come with their own Isozone adapter and it seems that the mirror I just bought with an adapter looks like it wouldn’t fit the bar end adapter. Kind of pissed at the local bike shop for selling me this $30 mirror knowing that I would have to buy a new one in two weeks. I realize someone who doesn’t have the Isozone grips wouldn’t know what the heck I’m talking about.

Bar end mirror for FX 7.2?

• Add to quote

Hello. This should be easy but I've been unable to find bar end mirrors (like the Hafny circulars #MR083) for my 2015(?) Trek FX 7.2. Cut off the end of the grip and pulled the plug but the inner diameter of the tube is too narrow for the Hafnys (which are rated for 14.8 - 23 mm). According to a rickety old pair of calipers, the inside diameter of the tube end is just less than 14mm (so 13.8mm?). Haven't been able to find bar end mirrors that would fit a tube that narrow. Any suggestions for a biking newby? Prefer the bar end style rather than over-the-bar. Thanks in advance for any guidance!  

Does your bike have the Isozone grips? If so, there is a Mirrycle mirror made specifically for those bars. UPC is 76445923601 Trek part# is 421605. If this is indeed what you need, I have a few here I could send you. $24.99 plus tax and shipping.  

The standard Mirrycle mirrors have two different size wedges in the box. 99% sure that mirror will fit your bars.  

Thank you! Based on the specs on their site, it looks like a winner: Mirrycle Part #: 20MIR UPC: 7 64459 23495 8 Suggested Retail Price: $19.00 Color: Black Name changed from Mountain Mirrycle to Mirrycle in early 2019 Fits inside handlebars with 13.75mm – 22.5mm (.54″ to .875″) inside diameters.  

Garmin Varia. Can connect via bike computers, phones, a Garmin display unit. Sure mirrors are cheap. Never liked a one of them that I ever owned. Well worth the money. IMO spending $ to stay safe and situationally aware…the smart thing to do.

How To Add Bar Ends to Trek 7.3FX Satellite Plus IsoZone Handlebars

The original handlebar on my Trek FX 7.3 is a very comfortable, ergonomic Bontrager Satellite Plus IsoZone model. I wasn’t happy only with one aspect – the lack of positions other than pushing straight-armed on the handlebars. For a few days it was ok but when I started planning my journey to Armenia, I knew that I have to add some bar ends.

The reason I write about this is because the handlebars have unusual endings and I had to spend some time researching what would be the right solution, and there weren’t too many materials at that time.

Since the handlebars have non-round endings, I had to use adapters to make them round before installing the bar ends. At that time the only adapter produced by Trek was the  Bontrager Race Lite Ergo Bar IsoZone Bar End Adapters.  Now I found new  Bontrager Satellite Plus IsoZone Bar End Adapter  which does the same thing, i.e. making the handlebar round at its end, only it has a different cap (which in my case plays just an aesthetic role).

So the job to be done was to remove the grip from the handlebars, cut out part of the white insert because otherwise the adapter wouldn’t fit, and put the adapter and fix it with the grip.

Now what you get is a few centimeters space to add a bar end. Mind that the end of this (Race Lite Ergo) model is not even – last few centimeters are a bit lower and the bar end should not come on that part.

Adding a bar end is a simple task. It’s good to test the exact position you want them to be in, like the angle and the direction of the bars.

Later I have wrapped the bar ends with a soft tape so that I don’t touch cold metal when riding in winter months.

hi, what kind of bar ends is it Thank you

Sorry for late reply Massimo. I bought them from Decathlon in the Netherlands, they were of their own brand, B’twin.

Can you install non-isozone grips on an isozone handlebar?

If so, what adjustments do you have to make?

Yes, that won’t be a problem mostly. Like you can see on the 3rd picture where the grip is taken off, the handlebar has a standard tube shape except the very ending. I would add some rubber there so it doesn’t stay hollow when you install new grips.

For new grips just make sure the diameter and the length are fitting before you buy. Hope this helps!

The Mirrycle mirror I have is the one designed specifically for the Isozone handlebars, btw.

I see that the end of the handle bar is open in the photo. Is this after the Isozone Satellite Plus Adapter plug has been installed? The reason I ask is that I’m adding bar ends to my Trek FX 3. The plugs that come with the adapter kit seem to be one solid piece of metal with the end cap permanently attached. This is a problem for me because I already have a Mirrycle bar end mirror and I have no idea how I’m supposed to install the mirror with these end bar adapter plugs.

Hi, my adapters had half cm deepenings at the end, but essentially it’s also closed. I checked the mirror you have, and it won’t work with bar end adapeters I am afraid 🙁 The mirror I used had a clamp that I could attach to the bar end itself.

Review: Trek FX+ 2

If you come to me and say, “I’ve never ridden an electric bike before,” I am probably going to take a few factors into consideration. The first is safety. If you’ve never built a bike, I’m probably not going to recommend a mail-order one you have to assemble yourself. You don’t want to discover that you've failed to tighten a screw when you’re going 20 miles per hour down a hill.

You also probably want a bike that’s reasonably priced, comfortable, and convenient to ride. In fact, you might want one that’s as close to your first human-powered bike as possible. Trek’s FX+ 2 hits all the sweet spots. It’s made by a reputable manufacturer with a wide retailer network. The reasonable base price includes all the commuter components, like integrated lights and fenders. Most importantly, it’s light and maneuverable.

It’s not a 65-pound “starter” ebike that will crush you if you stop on a hill or forget to charge the battery. Nor is it a smart bike that makes you spend 20 minutes walking through an app before you can ride it. I've been testing ebikes at home for years, and this is the first one my 60-year-old dad has felt comfortable grabbing and using to chase after my kids. “Sometimes I don’t even turn it on,” he remarked the other day. That’s the whole point.

The FX+ 2 comes in two configurations and three different sizes. The default model has a regular step-over top tube, and the FX+ 2 Stagger has a step-through top tube. Both come in a variety of colors and have small, medium, and large sizes. I’m 5'2" and the small-size Stagger fits me well. However, if you’re smaller than 5 feet, you might want to look at a different bike.

The cables, battery, and motor are inside the frame. The only clue the FX+ 2 Stagger is an ebike at all is a small unit with only three buttons on it: a power button, and plus and minus symbols. When you turn on the bike, its lights turn on, and two light meters show how much battery you have left and what level of pedal assistance you have toggled on.

That’s it. There’s no bright LCD display and no throttle. This might seem like a downside, but I use my electric bike for commuting and running errands. When I lock it up on a rack, it gives me peace of mind to know that no one’s going to spot a lone ebike in the wild and immediately try to steal it (or the battery).

I also appreciate the clarity in the controls. I’ve tried other electric bikes with a one-button toggle, but I could never remember how many times to press the button to toggle the level of assist, or what light indicated how much battery I had left.

The FX+ 2 has a 250-watt Hydrive rear hub motor, which is the European standard. That might seem slightly underpowered to Americans looking to power up huge hills, but the bike is so light and maneuverable that having a smaller motor doesn’t matter much at all. The medium frame size weighs 40 pounds—almost 30 pounds lighter than my own Tern GSD S00.

Not only is it easy to scootch up hills, it’s also easy to maneuver onto crowded bike racks when I’m out, or to lift onto our hanging bike rack in my garage. Also, for the past two weeks, it’s the first bike both my dad and I have grabbed to run errands around the neighborhood. The stated range is 35 miles, but we’ve put at least 10 miles on it by now, and the battery seems largely untouched. The fast 45c road tires didn’t hurt, either.

It does lack a few features we're used to seeing on higher-end ebikes by now, like a low-maintenance carbon belt drive or a continuously variable shifter. Instead, it has a regular bike chain on a nine-speed Shimano shifting system, with a derailleur that, yes, you may have to adjust occasionally.

But honestly, this was more than fine by me. I didn’t have to learn a new shifting system or figure out how to calibrate the gearing with the assist levels. I wasn’t riding a bike that was trying to predict how much assist I’d need and when—I could simply toggle on more or less as I rode. In that way, it felt much easier and more natural. 

It also has a lot of accessories that may be equally important, especially as the weather here in Oregon has grown cold, gray, and wet in the past few weeks. The 120-lumen headlamp is incredibly bright. The bell is incredibly loud. The fenders have kept my jeans relatively dry, and I’ve been able to bungee items onto the rear rack. A kickstand keeps it up in the garage for quick access, and hydraulic disc brakes work even when the rain is pouring down.

The price point may seem high compared to direct-to-consumer bikes from Aventon, Lectric, or Rad Power. But once you start adding up the cost of quality components, labor, and accessories, their prices start inching up. Mail-order companies are able to offer much lower prices on base models because their motors are cheaper. With a nicer motor, a mail-order bike like the Ride1Up Prodigy is priced comparably to the FX+ 2, and you have to assemble and safety-check it yourself.

Over the years, I’ve seen bicycle manufacturers debate and then struggle to add or subtract features that will make electric bikes more attractive to people who haven’t biked before. Extremely low step-throughs! Weird shifting systems! Apps! Huge tires! Maybe the best way to get people on an electric bike is the same way you get people on a regular bike—by making it fun, light, and easy to ride.

The perfect balance of fitness and fun FX is the most popular hybrid bike in the world for good reason. Go for a cruise, get a workout in, pull your kids, ride to work, run errands—this comfortable, reliable bike truly does it all.
