I just had my 3rd failure in as many years with this product from Zipp. The first time the extension going to the computer mount broke off...yes the metal piece.... and the next 2 times was the computer mount itself .... the insert...broke and my Garmin went bouncing down the road. Two out of three of these failures happened during races (one TT and one 70.3).
I'm a Retul bike fitter and have recommended this product to many customers because outwardly it is sleek and aesthetically pleasing. It is however unreliable. Maybe this product could work for the casual racer, those that don't attack a workout or those who don't ride a lot of miles but eventually the vibrations of the road seem to break this product down.
I called Zipp and they were unwilling to help this customer. If it were me I'd offer to replace the insert for the computer mount that broke, a part likely to cost under $1. Bad choice Zipp!
