Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Did your Wahoo Elemnt or Garmin edge get a cracked or broken screen? I want it! I keep losing my bike computers (don't ask me how, I'm special), and at $220+ a pop that is not sustainable. So if you have a bike computer that records data fine, but has bad cosmetic damage such as a cracked or broken screen I am very interested in taking it off your hands for cheap!

What's the cheapest way I can get power data into Strava and Training Peaks? Do I need a head unit or is there some work around? Thanks!

I am still in search of a working, but cosmetically damaged (cracked screen or what have you) bike computer that can connect to a power meter. Thanks so much if you have an old head unit you want to sell!

Some phones have ANT+ antennas. All Samsung Galaxy ones do. You can probably find a working older model pretty cheap.

What is this thread about? A year-long search for a GPS computer which can be had any day off eBay for $50USD? Huh?

As above, eBay is your best bet.

Apparently the OP wants one with a damaged screen.

Even eBay sellers will trash that device.

I thought the prereq was cheap, but for $50, man, I’d just bust the screen myself rather than wait a year...
