bike computer contacts
I've got an old bike computer with a wired connection to the wheel
sensor. When I hit rough pavement it often loses the connection and stops registering motion. A little spit on the mount seems to fix this temporarily. There must be a better solution. A good electrical contact cleaner or paste? -- drooling on my bike |

It is mildly abrasive and does no apparent damage to the contacts. Jim |

Lubrication makes a better connection just because its a lube. Contact "glide" into the metal. It also protect metal. It also waterproofs. Try some CRC 2-26 next time. I think auto maker use silicone grease, because petroleum will cause damage to rubber. |
