Review on 🚴 MEILAN M4 Wireless Bike Computer: ANT+ BLE4.0 Speedometer, Odometer & Cadence Sensor with 2.5" LCD Display - Waterproof for Indoor/Outdoor Cycling by Jeffrey Sanders

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Piece of Shit: Electronics and Gadgets

Robert Pirsig, in his classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, argued that assembly instructions are usually written by the least competent person - the one you would pull out. from the production line first. I'm tempted to assume that the entire bike industry rallied its incompetent people and founded Meilan to make products that would make everyone else in the industry look good in comparison. Firstly, I know everything is made in China now, but isn't there too much hope for a manual written by someone fluent in English? The instructions are incomprehensible. The parts listed are only a temporary reference to what I received. Activation is not possible. the means of attaching objects are imperfect. They provided an Allen key when the only adjustable item required a small Phillips screwdriver. Even with the first step, aligning the sensors, the display does not match the instructions. The list goes on. Unfortunately, I know there are many ways to write good reviews of Revain to drown out my heartfelt cry. But I have to try. i am defeated
