Garmin Edge 500 fault mounting
Moderator: Moderator Team
The mount is fine, I tired 2 different ones, it looks this round thing that is part of the Garmin it self that is on the bottom base of the Garmin, the one that inserted to the mount and by 90 degrees spin attached to the mount, changed his shape. I don't understand how.
Any idea? Anyone had it?

Post pictures of mount and the round base of your Garmin
This is the mount I use, the computer, I could post picture when I'm home

How long you had the Garmin?
The tabs do indeed look screwed but from the pictures it almost looks like they snapped with that rough edge rather than worn away.
Compared to mine which is going on 2 years now, it's a complete contrast. I do tend to upload after each ride or day's commuting so it is taken off the mounts regularly (Garmin & Raceware Direct).

I spoke with Garmin Support, a long process but they are replacing my device under complete warranty even though I was out of warranty. Good service!
That's nice of them. They wouldn't do anything for me when it happened. Fortunately, I bought mine from a retailer who agreed that was crap and they replaced it for me (probably saved me about 2-3 months of waiting for garmin anyway).
My other option was going to be gluing the garmin to a mount and removing it by the elastics they include.
Now I'm really careful about installing/removing from the mount.
Speedplay is the devil!
