Subject: Powertap hub repair?
So the other night I was changing the battery, pull the cap off and the white circuit (sitting on the lip in the picture) came off with it. It was (at least I assume) soldered to the board in the hub... now obviously I've got no reading. Talked to Powertap, they say it needs sent off for service. I feel like I should try something else first... but I'm not sure what.

Suggestions?
Conductive glue?

Chris,

Send it off!!!!

I have tried to repair factory electronics with no luck. A lot of them are cold soldered and if you try to heat them for repair you damage everything else.

I would send it in for service but I did see a couple of youtube videos that showed similar problems being repaired. I can't search youtube at work but will try to find a link later

I bet you could! :-)

Seriously, Saris has one of the best customer service departments of the entire industry. They will fix it and do it with quick turnaround and for reasonable money. (and no, no affiliation with Saris)

Have you been doing all of your bike cleaning, maintenance and repairs by leaning it up against something? Try it again with a dedicated bike repair stand.

We will take a peek into the lowly saddlebag to see what needs to be in there in case of emergency. Much of this may be common sense, some might surprise you, and some are simply just my opinion.

One procedure for changing a tire that you might learn from, but certainly don't want to follow precisely!
