I pulled my speedo to reset it and when I got it reset to zero's the first two numbers of it spin freely. The small retaining bar doesn't go completly through the retainers of all the tumblers. There doesn't seem to be any damage to it. Any suggestions?

Do I need to buy a new one, or can this one be fixed?

FYI: Be sure and read the last post in the thread posted by gcburdic.

Plastic in bottles are purposefully made to deteriorate and break apart in the sun and heat to help decomposing in land fills.
