Assigning Components to Profiles

Once a bike has profiles, each component either belongs to one profile or to none. That decides which rides it wears on.

Profile or no profile?

Leave a component with no profile (Default (all activities)) when it's on the bike for every ride: frame, bars, stem, seatpost, groupset, brake pads, cables, bar tape. It wears on every ride on the bike.

Put a component in a profile when you swap it in and out: wheels, chains, cassettes, or tyres you move with a wheelset. It only wears on rides with that profile, plus rides with no profile while its profile is the bike's default.

Choose a profile when adding a component

When the bike has profiles, the Add New Component sheet has a Profile field.

1. On the bike's page, click Add Component.
2. Fill in the component details.
3. Under Profile, choose a profile, or leave Default (all activities).
4. Save the component.

See Components for the rest of the form.

Change a component's profile

1. On the bike's page, click the edit (pencil) button on the component.
2. Change Profile, or set it to Default (all activities) to take it out of any profile.
3. Save.

Componentry recalculates the component's wear against its new set of rides straight away:

• Into a profile: only rides with that profile count, so wear can go down.
• Back to no profile: every ride on the bike counts, so wear can go up.
• To a different profile: only rides with the new profile count.

See which profile a component is in

In the bike's component list, a component in a profile has a badge with the profile name next to it. Components with no profile have no badge. The Profiles card also shows how many components each profile has.

Example: road bike with training and race wheels

Training rides wear the DT Swiss wheels, race rides wear the Zipps, indoor rides wear neither, and everything with no profile wears on every ride.
