The mount broke on my ride last week (see circle below).
I saw this on the Cycleops site, but it says it’s for the Wireless mount.
"CPU mount for use with wireless yellow Cervo PowerTap computers.“CPU mount for use with wireless yellow Cervo PowerTap computers.”
Does anyone know if it will work with the old wired powertap? I’m hoping that bracket part can pop off and I can slide the wired bracket in.
If not, any ideas aside from paying $60 for a new mounting kit?
I’ve got wired PT harnesses on 3 different bikes. I’ve broken a harness in the exact spot you are talking about and found that plastic-specific super glue works perfectly for holding it together. The only downside is that once you glue it, you obviously can’t switch the orientation for stem or handlebars, so make sure you glue it the way you want it!
I’ve tried all sorts of epoxy glues and the glue would always crack apart whenever I would ride on rough roads, so I would stay away from epoxy for this application. I can’t remember what brand it was, but I just went to the glue section at Lowe’s and bought a little tube of super glue that was made specifically for gluing plastic on plastic. The glue sort of “melts” the plastic together and it makes a super strong bond. I glued it about 2 years ago and it’s still going strong.
