Retiring a part is now part of a service
Retiring a component used to be possible in two places, and only one of them left you with a record worth keeping.
Retire from a full service log and you got the whole story: the wear the part came off at, a note about why, and a link to whatever you fitted in its place. Retire from the bike page and you got a component marked retired, with nothing tying it to the work you actually did.
From this release there is one path. The Retire button on the bike page now offers to start a service log for that bike, pre-filled and ready, and the retirement happens there.
What this means for your history
Every retirement from now on sits inside a service. When you look back at what a bike has had done to it, the parts that came off are listed alongside the reminders that service cleared and the notes you took while working. A replacement part shows what it replaced.
Retirements you recorded before this change are untouched. Reactivating a part is unchanged too, and still available directly from the bike page, so nothing you retired earlier is stranded.
Also in this release
Starting a service record now pre-selects the bike when you arrive from a bike page, and the buttons say what they do: Start Service and Start Maintenance, rather than Add Service Log.
