Hello has anyone found a solution to this can they be replaced without the hassle of sending unit back to Garmin Support?

Former Member The only supported way to resolve this is to reach out to your local support team for a replacement order. I know this isn't the most convenient option and do apologize for that, but that's the only official solution.
You can head to support.garmin.com to get in touch with your local support team.
But Blake, dont you find it odd that in over 8 years 800 series no one ever resolved this engineering flaw? I go through 1-2 per year. Road cyclists have done millions of kms on these and flooded aliBaba with replacement case buys... or dogears.. gluing the alloy top... Sometimes the bottom wears out from UV reflection off asphalt and disintegrates like Styrofoam. Fancy car UV plastic protectors resolve it, but not the breaking as harmonics at speed and road imperfections resonate in the mount, of course... WHY NOT A MAGNETIC clip?
ordered the dog ears, will epoxy it 3000 psi strength, aint gonna move. Am tired of ordering ali baba cases (and ditched it after they improsoned jack ma). Worse though is the cadence 2, what an imprecise piece of junk!!! It is angular momentum calculus, so the numbers are all over the place (by 5 or 10 RPM). Return to GSC10- which is electromgnetic so light speed data, magnets move, not the sensor, if I pedal 100 RPM for 1km, this is what I see. Garmin is very profit obsessed. Good computers, but the freezes or the ear issue is a nuisance...
Be sure to sand the aluminum. And use a teather.
Ok, tether sure, but sand where, the ears to avoid the tight fit?
On the side that takes the glue.
(There's an ebay clone that is a bit cheaper than the dogears.)
ty makes sense. Although i never had 3000 psi epoxy ever fail, sanding does indeed makes the adhesion even stronger. I would never use crazy glu, nothing really beats a poxy. Hey question, how do you find the cadence 2 RPM accuracy?
The instructions say to use epoxy. I didn't use 3000psi epoxy. I did sand and it still separated for me. It's possible that colder temperatures contributed.
I'm not using any sensors at the moment.
