Record a service

Updated

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

  1. Open the component's page.
  2. Click Record Service.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
