When you finish maintenance — replacing brake pads, swapping a chain,
re-greasing bearings — record it so:
- Your service history is accurate.
- The interval clock resets and the next alert fires at the right
time. - You can compare component lifespans over time.
How to record
- Open the component's page.
- Click Record Service.
- Fill in:
- Date — when the work was done.
- Distance at service — the bike's odometer reading. If the
bike is linked to Strava, the current value is pre-filled. - Notes (optional) — what you did, parts used, observations.
- Cost (optional) — what the service / parts cost. Captured
for everyone, but the cost-per-km analytics that aggregate
these are an Alloy / Carbon feature. - Performed by (optional) — yourself, your local shop, etc.
Useful if you split work between DIY and the shop.
- Save.
The component's "last service" date and distance update, and the
service-interval countdown restarts from this point.
Tips
- Record the service the same day you do it — easy to forget the
exact distance later. - Use the notes field for things like "replaced cleat bolts" or
"switched to ceramic bearings" — future-you will thank you. - Filling in the cost field consistently makes the
cost-per-km report on Alloy /
Carbon meaningful.
