Actually, they should be flimsy in one sense - you don't want something spindly and hard kicking around near your eye in a fall. 'Twould be nice if the mirror would just vanish or disintegrate on impact; making it something that will break away helps. However, I've seen (and briefly owned) mirrors which can't even stand the strain of repeated refastening coupled with heavy wind. Cheap junk and lightweight/safe/quality equipment appear side by side on bike shop shelves. -- ...A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
