Garmin Replacement Bands for Cadence Sensor??

[FrothNinja]

Trying to source replacement bands for my Garmin Cadence Sensor but they only seem to come in stupid packs where only one of them will fit so you are effectively (incl P&P) paying in the region of £6 for one band. I've not found any non-Garmin ones either, which is weird given there are myriad mounts that claim to be compatible with the Edges.
Have any of you wonderful people any idea where I could find the stretchy grail of multi-packs in single sizes??
Thanks.

Just use two o rings of an appropriate size instead

Garmin usually give you lots of o rings to mount the computers and things ? Check your box ?

O rings are my back up but they are not really robust enough - it's for a bike I am running flats on so my shoe can rub the rubber (which is why I need to replace after 12 months)

2 or 3 zip ties work fine, I've done that on a couple of ocassions without any problems.

No problems with mine and have been on for a number of years, could be a matter of having some a touch too big. The Garmin band after all is basically two O rings with a common part.

Black electric tape is your friend, just wrap it round crankarm and sensor, renew it when you change the battery.

I tuck my cadence sensor (not Garmin) in my shoe.

Here is the guilty party - an O ring/tape combo might do the job in the meantime

You're right in saying that people usually need just one out of those bands - so the rest of the pack never gets used.

Perhaps, someone needed a different size and has the right one for you left? And would be willing to post it for the cost of 2nd class letter?

Are there any markings that would help identify which one is it?

The difference is the length

Either use black electric tape or a short piece cut from a mtb (or something wider than a 18-25mm) inner tube slipped over the crank arm. Those garmin bands are prone to perishing in any event.

Inner tube seems an ideal solution 👍
