I don't understand how. Any idea? Anyone had it?

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).

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.
