Zumo Security Screw

No jokes about prison officers, coppers, etc., please !

If, like me, you find the security screw that locks the clip on top of the Zumo bike mount REALLY annoying, there is an alternative.

There is a guy in Holland who manufactures a replacement, which is a small thumbscrew. Job done, and no faffing around with the small and ridiculous security screwdriver Garmin supply.

This won't stop your Zumo being nicked (it's only designed to stop the unit opening accidentally), but at least it's easy to remove your Zumo when you pull up.

If anyone's interested, here's the link from the Zumo forum :
