Component Tracking Accuracy

No Warranty on Accuracy

While we strive for accuracy, WatchMyBike:

  • Is a tracking tool based on data you provide or sync from Strava
  • Cannot guarantee the accuracy of component wear calculations
  • Cannot predict component failures with certainty
  • Provides replacement alerts as general guidance, not professional advice
  • Provides the in-app AI assistant as a convenience tool. AI-generated answers and any actions it takes on your behalf may contain errors. You are responsible for reviewing destructive actions (deletes, transfers) before confirming them, and for verifying any safety-related advice with a qualified professional.

Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

  • Inspecting your bike components regularly
  • Making maintenance and replacement decisions
  • Consulting professional bike mechanics when needed
  • Not relying solely on WatchMyBike for safety-critical decisions

Component tracking is a tool to assist you, not a replacement for proper bike maintenance and professional inspection.

Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
