May was about getting set up faster and seeing more at a glance. A guided wizard builds out a new bike in one pass, bulk FIT upload backfills years of riding history, and a new iOS widget puts your bike's status on your home screen. Here's what shipped.
Set Up a Whole Bike in One Pass
Adding components used to mean entering your chain, cassette, tires, and brake pads one at a time, on every bike. Now you pick a brake type and a template — Basic, Complete, or Detailed — when you create a bike, and land in a wizard with the right components pre-filled and ready to confirm. Two bulk helpers set a manufacturer or an install date across every row at once, so a full build takes a few taps instead of a dozen forms.
Wheels, tires, brake pads, and rotors now track as separate front and rear components, so you can retire a worn front tire without touching the rear's history. Already running bikes, or one imported from Strava? A "Set up with a template" shortcut finishes the job and skips anything already installed. The wizard is live on web and mobile.
Bring Your Whole Riding History
Activity import used to reach only as far back as your connected provider allowed — often just a few months. You can now upload FIT files directly: drop in a single ride or a whole folder, and Componentry runs them through the same pipeline as your live syncs, with gear matching, component wear, and weather all applied.
Three layers of deduplication mean the same ride never lands twice — whether you re-upload a file, already synced it from Garmin, or recorded it on two devices. Find it under Activities → Upload FIT files. This one's web-only for now.
Track the Pressure You Run
Record the front and rear pressure on each tire and see it at a glance the next time you're prepping for a ride. Pressures show as a quick Front / Rear row on every bike card across the home page and bikes list, and you can pick your unit — psi, kPa, or Bar — under Settings → Units. If you run a default profile such as race wheels versus training wheels, the card shows the pressures for that setup. Available on web and mobile.
Your Bike's Status on Your Home Screen
A new iOS home-screen widget shows your default bike without opening the app. The small size puts aggregate wear front and center with quick counts for components, sensors, and open reminders; the medium size adds your last 14 days of riding and a sensor chip that surfaces low-battery warnings from your most recent ride. Long-press your home screen, tap the plus, and search for Componentry to add it.
Live Chat, Right in the App
Reaching us no longer means an email thread. A new support card in the sidebar opens a live chat inside Componentry, so you can ask a question without leaving what you're doing. It's available to signed-in riders on web and mobile, in all nine supported languages.
Now Available in Dutch
Dutch joins German, English (US and UK), Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, and Portuguese as a fully supported language — across the marketing site and every screen behind sign-in. Choose Nederlands from your account settings and the whole interface switches immediately, with number and date formats following the Dutch defaults. The translation spans web and mobile, and mobile syncs whichever language you pick on the web.
A Faster App, and a Round of Fixes
The latest mobile app update brings faster screen transitions, snappier navigation, and a fix for the back button on the Bikes sub-screens on iOS 26. Alongside that:
- Bar tape and bottom bracket are now tracked component types.
- Retiring from a service log pre-fills the replacement's details and respects the service date, so a like-for-like swap is a one-tap confirmation.
- Install dates save on the right calendar day when your account and device timezones differ.
- Editing a component on mobile updates its wear, predictions, and reminders immediately — no manual recalculate.
On the Blog
Five guides from the blog worth a read:
- How Long Does a Bike Cassette Last? — what actually determines cassette life, and why tracking your chain changes is the real answer.
- Drivetrain Efficiency: Why Your $1,000 Cassette Requires 0.5% Precision — how half a percent of chain wear decides whether a premium cassette survives, and the real money on the line.
- When to Replace Brake Pads — the exact measurements, mileage thresholds, and warning signs that mean it's time, before stopping power quietly fades.
- How to Tell When Your Bike Tyres Are Worn Out — why tread is only half the story, and how to spot the casing failures most riders miss.
- Strava Bike Maintenance: What It Can't Do — where Strava stops and component tracking begins.
