FOR ANY NEXT STEPS THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO TAKE YOU ARE ONLY AND SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WITH YOUR DEVICE. AND FOR ANY AND ALL THE DAMAGES.
Mounting tabs broke off on my V2 Wahoo Elmnt roam.
I decided to make a new back cover with new mounting tabs.
New back cover has a bigger surface area and is better then just gluing the circular mount (dogears) at the back.
Back cover of the Roam has to be flattened (roughened a bit if epoxy is used, not needed for super glue to stick).
This is printed in PETG. Initially I used Bison Metal dual Epoxy but Simple Green Universal Loctite Super Bond proved to do the trick and has MUCH better adhesion.
Before doing any work on the Wahoo, I suggest to cover the sides with standard masking tape.
IF using Super Glue, make sure you DO NOT put it everywhere, just few small dots strategically here and there and very good dotty amount under the main mount in the middle, but again dotty approach.
Again Do NOT put a big blob of glue,
