I don't know; you would have to ask them. I'd expect it to be a
filled resin of some sort, but there are many candidates with varying
charcteristics.

Dear Gloucester,

If we're talking about the stuff inside that keeps the body of a
cateye nice and round, it's known as the vitreous humor:

My dear Duke:

Perhaps you may have mistaken the less useful orb (once removed from
its rightful place) for the more enjoyable one:

Alas, once fractured, it is dashed difficult to heal with certainty
through the employment of any glue made by mortal man, though the
glass-blower's art might remold it somehow.

As for repairing an ordinary cyclocomputer, the easiest solution is to
stop by WalMart and get a new red $10 Schwinn cyclocomputer with a
fresh battery and a trip meter that reads in increments of 0.001
miles.

I am aghast! The mere concept of endorsing the use of a Red computer
is anathema to any left-thinking cyclist, and there is no other kind
with which it is permissible for those of good conscience to
associate.

And as has long been the case, the true gentleman will search long and
hard to locate a computer whose figures are presented in the more
seemly furlongs, a far more appropriate distance to use in judjing
progress aboard something that is ridden astride a saddle, would you
not agree? (Sadly, such devices seem in short supply, so a conversion
table is often needed in order to make sense of the mundane
indications available.)

Yours,

Gloucester
