Record a service

Updated

When you finish maintenance — replacing brake pads, a suspension lower-leg
service, re-greasing bearings — record it so:

  • Your service history is accurate.
  • If the work satisfies a service interval, that interval's clock resets
    and the next alert fires at the right time.
  • You can compare component lifespans over time.

You don't need a service interval to record a service. Recording
something that just happened works on a part with no maintenance plan
at all.

How to record

  1. Open the component's page (or the bike's page for bike-level work
    like a full tune-up) and go to the Service tab.
  2. Click Record Service — it's in the Service Intervals header, and
    on each interval row. Clicking it on a row pre-selects that interval.
  3. Fill in:
    • Service interval (optional) — which interval this fulfils, or
      leave it on General Service for work that isn't tied to one.
    • Service type — routine, repair, inspection, replacement,
      adjustment, cleaning or custom. Not everything is a routine
      service; the type shows as a colored badge in the history.
    • Date — when the work was done. Backdating is fine: the
      distance and riding hours at that date are worked out from your
      ride data and shown before you save.
    • Notes (optional) — what you did, parts used, observations.
    • Photos (optional, Alloy / Carbon) — up to four per entry.
      Worn seals, oil condition, the part you took out. Handy evidence
      when you later ask whether the interval was right.
    • Cost (optional) — what the service / parts cost. Captured for
      everyone; the cost-per-km analytics that aggregate these are an
      Alloy / Carbon feature.
    • Performed by (optional) — yourself, your local shop, etc.
  4. Save.

The entry appears in the Service History timeline. If you picked an
interval, its "last service" date, distance and riding time update and
the countdown restarts from this point.

Editing an entry

Got the date, cost or notes wrong? Use the pencil on the history row.
Everything is editable, including the interval it's attached to and
its photos. If you change the date, distance and riding time at
service are recalculated for the new date, and the affected interval
is re-synced from its most recent entry.

Tips

  • Record the service the same day you do it — or backdate it while
    you still remember the day.
  • 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.
