Good bike computer for the money. The manual is almost useless

The manual is poorly written and the instructions are incomplete. Bad translation from Chinese. The company needs to hire a guide writer who knows how the product works and how to set it up. They contain illustrations and photographs. The bike computer itself works well.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Only available in black

Can be adjusted to work on a stationary rod

I managed to get this to work on my stationary rod with the rig as shown in the photo. I had to use my own long magnet to reach the cadence sensor but it works! The instructions are really confusing - my advice to pair it with the sensor is to hold down the power button (on the left) and the settings button. (on the back) for a few seconds and perform a factory reset. Please note that the SUPER connection is unreliable. When I do a factory reset, everything works fine, which leads me to think…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Empty

YouTube must be used for more detailed instructions

This cycle computer works as described. It is easy to read and has 2 levels of backlighting. It took me a while to figure out how to set it up. I have a recumbent trike, so I don't use the cadence function. There is a tire size table in the manual. That is, a 20-inch wheel is set to have a circumference of 1490mm. The instructions in the box are too general, and once the computer is fully installed and the wheels are turned, the computer springs to life. I'm glad I bought this item because of…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Useless functions

Cadence sensor breaks too quickly

I used the device and part of the cadence worked only once. I think it was a waste of money. stopped working. I replaced the battery thinking that was the problem but it wasn't. The price it has compared to the quality is not worth it in my opinion. I do not recommend buying this product. I was contacted by Tina from Cust who was happy with this company so they explained the situation to me and they continued to refund me and took the time to ensure I received my refund. I'm very thankful…

Great idea, bad implementation.

I've had several emails from the company that makes this. Here are the problems as I described them to Meilan: I don't think the problem is with the sensors. I think the problems are: 1- the instructions provided are poor as are the online videos 2- the procedure for connecting the computer 3- the procedure for programming the correct wheel size 4- the poor quality of the application. 5- the fact that I need to save the workout on my computer to transfer it to the application. I found the Wahoo

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not bad

Non-Intuitive - Learning Curve

This works to give me my speed, cadence, heart rate (with Wahoo chest strap), distance, time and temperature. It probably does more, but I haven't looked into it yet. The monitor backlight is handy for skiing until sunrise. Also, the phone app syncs with Strava. The only issues I had was syncing with my phone after I finished my ride and saying I'm done riding after using it for the first few times. It's not intuitive. What I would call the pause button is how you start it, stop it and point to

Pros
  • Ultimate Legend
Cons
  • Replacement Availability

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…

Accuracy and Specs

I was looking for a good bike computer to replace my Cateye Dual Wireless. I liked the capabilities of this computer and wanted to replicate them as closely as possible. The description matched my requirements and I ordered it. Although I've had it for a few weeks, I was only able to install it on my bike yesterday (01/19/2021). I read the instructions and found the instructions too short and not very clear. I finally got the basics set up, connected it to the sensor and went for a (very cold)…

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Error
