Getting started with Componentry

Componentry tracks the wear on every component of your bikes from the rides you actually do. Your rides come in from Strava, Garmin, Wahoo or Hammerhead, each ride is matched to a bike, and the distance, time and conditions are counted against the parts fitted to that bike. You see how worn each part is, get reminded when something needs attention, and keep a record of every service.

Create your account

1. Go to componentry.app and choose Sign up.
2. Enter your email address and a password, or continue with Google.
3. Confirm your email address from the message we send you.

Every new account starts with a 60-day free trial with everything included. See Billing and free trial for what happens after that.

The Componentry mobile app for iOS and Android uses the same account. It also lets you sign in with Apple or with Strava.

Your dashboard

After signing in you land on Home, your dashboard.

Once you're set up, the dashboard shows:

• Reminders: anything overdue, due soon or coming up, with a Complete button on each.
• Active Bikes: each bike with its overall wear.
• Component Wear Alerts: parts that are close to or past the end of their expected life.
• Upcoming Services: service logs you have planned or booked.
• Last 7 Days Summary: distance, elevation and time ridden, and your most used bike.
• Advanced insights: progress towards personalised predictions, shown when you've connected a ride source.
• Recent Activities: your latest rides and the bike each was matched to.

The setup checklist

A new account's dashboard opens with a Set up your bikes checklist. It lists the five steps that get your bikes fully tracked, with a count of how many you've done:

1. Connect a data source
2. Add your first bike
3. Set up your components
4. Sync your first activity
5. Set a maintenance reminder

The next step is expanded with a short explanation and a button that takes you straight to it. You can start any step in any order. Steps tick themselves off from your real data, so there's nothing to mark by hand. When all five are done you get a short confirmation you can dismiss, and the checklist doesn't come back. The mobile app shows the same five steps.

Find your way around

The sidebar on the left has three groups:

The bell at the top of the sidebar opens your in-app notifications. Your name at the bottom opens the account menu, where you can also sign out.

Connect where your rides come from

Open Apps in the sidebar and connect one or more services:

• Strava syncs your rides and can import the bikes you've set up on Strava.
• Garmin, Wahoo and Hammerhead sync rides straight from your bike computer. Rides from these include the detail from the ride file, which is what powers personalised predictions. These are marked Powers predictions.

New rides arrive automatically once a service is connected. Use Import Activities on a connected service to bring in rides you did before joining. If a bike computer and Strava are both connected, Componentry takes the ride from the bike computer and uses Strava only to match it, so nothing is counted twice.

You can also upload a ride file yourself from the Activities page. See Activities.

Add your first bike

There are two ways to add a bike:

• Import from Strava: on Apps, choose Import Bikes on the Strava card and pick the bikes to bring in.
• Add it yourself: on Bikes, choose Add Bike and fill in the model, manufacturer and discipline.

Adding a bike yourself lets you pick a Setup Template, which pre-fills a list of components for you to confirm. Full steps are in Adding a bike.

Where to go next

• Bikes: the bike page, purchase records, insurance and bike settings.
• Components: adding parts, wear, and retiring or replacing them.
• Activities: how rides are imported and matched to your bikes.
• Sensors: linking sensors so rides go to the right bike automatically.
• Reminders: maintenance reminders by distance, time or number of rides.
• Service Logs: recording services, parts fitted and work done.
• Predictions: personalised predictions of when each part will wear out.
• Account settings: units, language, date formats and sign-in.
