I had about 9000 miles on my Powertap SL, when I recently sent it to Saris for service. They did what they called a "complete rebuild" and sent me a new head unit and coded heart rate strap, all for $150.00, shipped. I found Saris to have really good customer service, it took 10 days to get it back, and I thought the price was great. I highly recommend Saris.

I will admit not sure if there is a better company for customer service.

6 months, but only because I waited. Needed to get the RF signal tweaked so it wouldn't keep dropping...

Just over 1100 miles

Thumbs up Re: How long has your Power Tap gone before needing service?

Within 3 months had "data drop outs". Repaired / replaced by local distributor in 2 days.
Months later - Dud receiver (shark fin) replaced harness same day.
Download cradle had an intermittent open circuit. Replaced at my cost. I probably damaged this myself carrying it in my laptop bag.
More recently I had a dead hub after a few days of low battery warning - turned out that the battery holder in the hub was faulty. Replaced same morning - no cost.

I've had a bit of bad luck but with the great service that I've had I can certainly live with the gremlins.
