I've never had to do this myself but I know Garmin will replace stuff very cheap after the warranty goes out. I looked it up when I sold a watch, it was 1/10 the price.

There's a site and forum called BackpackingLight. You can read without a membership. Touring on a bike imposed a lot of special needs, but those folks have a great deal of knowledge and you might find some useful info there too.
