Service intervals

A service interval tells WatchMy.bike when something needs
attention. You can set them at two levels:

• Per-component — chain at 3,000 km, brake pads every 6 months,
  etc. Alloy / Carbon feature.
• Per-bike — full bike-level services like an annual tune-up,
  bearing service every 5,000 km, frame inspection every year.
  Available on every plan and managed under Bike → Service.

We alert you when an interval becomes due.

Two kinds of intervals

Distance-based

Example: Replace chain every 3,000 km.

• Best for components that wear predictably with use.
• Updates automatically when your bike is linked to Strava.
• We alert you as you approach the limit.

Time-based

Example: Replace brake pads every 6 months.

• Choose the unit: days, weeks, months, or years.
• Good for components that age regardless of use (rubber, sealant).
• Useful for periodic maintenance tasks (lube, sealant top-ups).

Extra options

When you create or edit an interval you can also set:

• Reset on transfer — should the countdown restart when the
  component moves to a different bike? On for things tied to a
  bike (e.g. cable service), off for things tied to the part
  itself (e.g. chain wear).
• Baseline date — the reference point the time-based interval
  counts from (install date, last service, or a custom date).

Suggested intervals (general guidance)

These are rules of thumb. Your real intervals depend on riding
conditions, component quality, and how aggressively you ride.
