Creating Reminders

Create a maintenance reminder for a bike or a component, and choose when it comes due.

Create reminders from the Reminders page. Every reminder needs a name and at least one rule for when it comes due.

Create a Reminder

Open Reminders in the sidebar and select Create Reminder.
Enter a Reminder Name that says what to do, such as "Check tubeless sealant" or "Bleed rear brake".
Set the Start Date. For a time-based reminder this is the day it first comes due.
Choose a Bike (Optional), and if the job is for one part, a Component (Optional) on that bike. See Reminders on bikes and components for how this choice changes the reminder.
If you picked a chain, you can switch on Lubrication reminder for a lube or wax job.
Under Reminder Schedule, switch on the rules you want and fill them in:
- Time-based reminders: a Frequency (Daily, Weekly or Monthly), how many to count (Every), and the Hour (24h) and Minute it falls due.
- Distance-based reminders: how far between each one.
- Activity-based reminders: how many rides between each one.
Select Create Reminder.

Time-based reminders are switched on by default. Switch them off if you only want the distance or ride rule. At least one rule has to be on before you can save.

A new reminder starts in Scheduled and moves up the list as it gets closer to due. See Reminder schedules for how each rule counts.

Reminders That Are Set Up for You

When you add a component. Many component types come with standard reminders, such as "Check chain wear" and "Lube/Wax chain" for a chain or "Check brake pad wear" for brake pads. The add-component form shows a preview and a checkbox to create them. The bike setup wizard has a matching Auto-create reminders for components that have presets option. Each one is named after the part, for example "Chain: Check chain wear", and you can edit or delete it like any other reminder.

When you record insurance. Adding an insurance policy to a bike sets a reminder for the number of days before renewal you choose, repeating every year. See Bikes.

Tips

Name the job, not the part. The bike and component already show on the reminder.
One job per reminder. "Service suspension fork" and "Check tubeless sealant" are easier to tick off separately.
For a job you only need to do once, create the reminder and delete it after you've done it. Every reminder repeats.
You can also create reminders in the mobile app, or ask an AI assistant to do it.
