The way you say "for some months", leads me to the conclusion that you did previously. What changed?That is a known issue with the helmet mount. Mine hasn't been a problem for some months now.
Ah, so I'm not the only one then. At least it's something that someday may get rectified. It just seems to me that the metal rod is a tad too short. If you were on a pretty rough surface on a road bike, I dare say that without modification, you'd end up losing the rod and having your ContourHD hanging from the lanyard after not too long.
I'll see if I can come up with something a little more suitable than pieces of folded paper to stop the rod sliding out.
Gaz, what would you use instead of bits of paper? A piece of plastic, like a piece of an old expired debit card or something?
I did have it previously. I check my mount before every ride, if i see some of the rod poking through, i push it back in with my key. For some reason it hasn't come out for a while (maybe due to the lack of rain? the warmer weather meaning the metal has expanded slightly?)
Vholdr are looking into it, and there are some people that have posted some resolutions on the forums.
You would have to leave it for a long time for it to fall out. even when the rod isn't in place properly you will have to give it a good yank to get it out.
