there's something about being able to solder anywhere (more places if I had a QC3 powerbank)

bleh, one of the wires refused to take solder, so I twisted them together as tightly as I could but the connection didn't hold… I guess I have to replace the entire wire, but it goes through the bike frame and ughhhhh

@noiob gonna be honest your setup lookin like scrooge mcduck on concrete but i respect that

@noiob Didn't hold solder? As in, the solder wouldn't wet the copper?

@starkatt yup. It's been on that bike for almost ten years now so I'm not super suprised, but I couldnt clean it with contact cleaner or flux

@starkatt actually, maybe it's not copper, it's distinctly silver in color
