Bulk import your components

Adding parts one at a time is fine for a single swap, but when you're setting
up a whole bike it's slow. Instead, bring in a whole list at once — the
importer pulls out each part, you review, and confirm.

There are three ways in, use whichever fits what you've got:

• Paste a list — a Strava gear table, a shop spec sheet, a forum post, or
  your own notes typed however you like.
• Upload a CSV — straight from a spreadsheet, with column mapping.
• Start from a template — if you don't have a list yet.

Open it all from Add New Component(s) → Import components.

The fastest source: your Strava gear

If you've been tracking components on Strava, you don't have to retype them —
copy the components table and paste it straight in.

1. On a computer, go to strava.com and sign in.
2. Open Settings → My Gear (or
   strava.com/settings/gear).
3. Click the bike you want. Strava shows its components table — columns
   like Type, Brand, Model, Added, Removed, Distance, Action.
4. Click just before the first row, drag to the last row to highlight
   the table, and copy: ⌘C (Mac) / Ctrl+C (Windows).
5. Paste into the import box (⌘V / Ctrl+V) and click
   Parse & extract components.

It's fine to grab a little extra — only the component rows are kept. The
importer also:

• keeps only the parts that are currently installed (rows with no
  Removed date), and
• reads the Added date as each part's install date, so wear and service
  history line up from day one.

Want distances to keep updating automatically afterwards? That's a separate,
one-time setup — see Connect Strava.

Upload a CSV file

Keep your build in a spreadsheet? Export it as CSV (in Excel or Google
Sheets: File → Save As / Download → CSV) and upload it directly — no
copy-paste needed.

1. Under Import from CSV file, choose your .csv.
2. Match each column to a field — Type, Brand, Model, Specs, Weight,
   Purchase price, Installed date, Position, or Ignore. Columns are
   auto-matched from your headers; fix any that look off.
3. Click Import to go to the review screen.

Only the Type column is essential — everything else is optional, and
unknown types come in as Other so you can set them while reviewing. Common
EU spreadsheets that use semicolons (;) instead of commas work too.

Don't have a CSV yet? Click Download CSV template for a ready-to-fill file
with the right headers and a few example rows. Fill it in, save, and upload it
back — its columns map automatically.

Other sources and free-form text

No tidy table? Paste whatever you have — a shop spec sheet, a receipt, or a few
lines of notes. A quick parser reads structured lists instantly; for free-form
text it hands off to AI, which reads messy, sectioned spec sheets
(Frame / Fork / Groupset / Wheels …) and works out the right component types,
splitting a groupset or wheelset into its individual parts.

The most reliable plain-text format is one component per line, as
Type: Brand, Model (add a third comma-separated value for an extra spec):

Frame: Specialized, Tarmac SL7, FACT 12r
Chain: Shimano, CN-M8100, 12-speed
Front Tire: Specialized, Turbo Cotton, 28mm

If you'd rather skip the quick parser, tick Use AI parser before parsing to
go straight to AI.

Don't have a list yet? Start from a template

A few options get you going without typing from scratch:

• Use standard list — drops in a skeleton of the components on a typical
  bike. Parse it to get a starter set, then fill in brands and models later.
• Use example template — loads a complete example build you can edit to
  match your own bike before importing.
• Download CSV template — a spreadsheet-ready file with example rows (see
  Upload a CSV file above).

Review and import

You'll land on a review screen showing every component found, grouped by
category. There you can:

• untick anything you don't want to import,
• fix the type, brand (with brand search), model, or notes
  right inline, and
• Re-parse with AI if the quick parser read your list but got some parts
  wrong — your text is fine, AI usually does better.

The final step lays everything out in a table — including weight and price
brought in from a CSV — for one last check. Nothing is saved until you confirm.

Troubleshooting

• Nothing was extracted. Make sure you copied the actual rows/lines (not
  just a heading), then try again — or tick Use AI parser.
• A component has the wrong type, brand, or model. Fix it inline on the
  review screen, or use Re-parse with AI. Changes don't affect anything
  until you confirm.
• A CSV column landed in the wrong field. Change the column's dropdown in
  the mapping step before importing.
• .xlsx won't upload. Save it as .csv first (File → Save As → CSV).
• Old/removed parts showed up. Only currently-installed Strava rows are
  imported; if an old part appears, untick it on the review screen.
