WatchMy.bike keeps track of your bikes and the parts on them, so
you know what you're riding, what it's done, and when something
needs attention. This page explains the whole idea in a few
minutes — then points you at the fast path to set it up.
The core idea
Five things, and everything else follows from them:
1. Your garage holds bikes
Every bike has an odometer — its total distance. You can have one
bike or a whole stable; they all live in one garage.
2. Bikes hold components
A bike is made of parts: chain, cassette, tires, brake pads,
chainrings, and so on. You add the components you care about to a
bike, and each one tracks its own distance and age.
3. Distance flows from rides into bikes, then into components
This is the heart of it. When a bike records distance, that
distance is shared with every component installed on it at the
time. So your chain, cassette, and tires all rack up kilometres
together as you ride — automatically, without you logging anything
per part.
Because tracking is tied to when a part was installed, the
numbers stay honest: install a fresh chain today and it starts at
zero while the rest of the bike keeps its history. Move a part to
another bike and its accumulated wear moves with it.
4. Strava is the easiest way to feed that distance
Connect Strava once and your rides arrive on their own, adding
distance to the right bike and its components in near-real time
(with a background sync every six hours as a safety net).
One thing to know: connecting your Strava account isn't quite
enough. Each bike in your garage has to be linked to the matching
Strava bike (your gear) — that link is how a ride knows which
bike to add its distance to. Connect once, then link each bike to
its gear and it syncs from then on.
Prefer to stay off Strava? You can update a bike's odometer by hand
— the rest works exactly the same.
5. WatchMy.bike watches the wear and tells you
Give a component a service interval (by distance, by time, or
whichever comes first) or an expected lifespan, and you'll be
warned when it's due — before a worn chain ruins a cassette, not
after. Each bike also gets a health score so you can see at a
glance what's in good shape and what needs work.
And when you're proud of a build, you can publish it and share the
link with anyone.
That's the whole loop: add your gear → ride → get told what needs
attention → service it → share it.
Set it up (the fast path)
- Create your account —
sign in with email, Google, Facebook, or Apple. - Add a bike —
name, make, model, year, type. - Connect Strava — then
link each garage bike to its matching Strava bike (gear). Without
that link, rides have no bike to attribute distance to. - Add components and
set service intervals —
this turns a parts list into real reminders. Setting up a whole
bike? Skip the one-at-a-time typing and
bulk import your components:
paste your Strava gear table and it pulls in each installed
part with its install date, or paste any build list, receipt, or
notes and an AI wizard extracts the components for you to review. - Ride. Linked bikes update themselves.
- Check your
health score and alerts —
plus a daily email or push notification, only when something
actually needs you. - Share your profile and bikes
when you're ready.
Where to go next
- Track multiple bikes — one
garage, every bike. - Swap or replace a component —
keep wear accurate when parts move. - Pick a plan — free covers three
bikes; paid tiers add more bikes, photos, and service-interval
alerts.
