Why Mavic Bike Computers Suck

Short answer:  There is no documention online about how to reset their bike computer.  And, boy oh boy, does that piss me off.  

I spent about an hour and a half of my life searching in vain this evening.  Apparently Mavic puts its tech stuff behind some user name password thing.  Someone else (on some page I'm not going to look-up again) said it was similar to the avocet 15 or 20 or 25.  None of those did the trick.  

the stupid thing seems to reset just fine.  But, the moment, I spin the wheel or get on the trainer, it goes back to "SEl."  

Bullshit.  Nonsense.  Utter nonsense.  

I'll never buy another cheap Mavic crappy bike computer again.  Instead, I'll buy a avocet (like I had before), so i can reset it when I need to.  Now, I just have a useless lug on top of my stem. . . while I can just pay to have teh bikeshop redo it for me, when it next trips up. . . well, then, I'll need to pay them another $10 or $15 to redo it. . . in which case, I could have just bought a new one, and then reprogrammed it myself.  

Incidentally, I'm sure I threw away the manual because I was self-assured that no worldwide company would fail to have their manuals online in 2008.  Ahhh, actually, Mavic has those kinds of balls.  

Well, I have to go pick-up my mountain bike on wednesday anyway. . . I might as well bring my other bike in. . .
