    • Use your cutter knife to pry open the small cap that hides the inner contacts.

    • You probably have to go a bit deeper into the plastic as the cap is glued to the casing.

    • Use the paper clip to hold the cable at the right position.

    • Solder the prepared cable to the contacts.

    • Remember: the red cable left, the black cable right.

    • The contacts take up heat of the soldering iron really fast. This can lead to the contacts melting the surrounding plastic. Hence, you have to be fast.

    • Apply some glue to the mount and re-attach the cap to the mount.

Conclusion

Now go and attach the cyclometer to your bike and check that it works again.
