Changelog

The Table view of your components was one fixed list. You open it for different reasons, though: sometimes to see what needs doing before the weekend, sometimes to see what a bike weighs or what a season of chains and tyres cost. So Table now has two tables, one for each question, and every column sorts.

You'll find it on Components and on a bike's Components tab: pick Table in the view switch. The other views stay as they were.

Needs attention: what do I need to do?

• Condition per component: Good, Due soon or Due, the same as on the Condition tab. It's the worse of the component's wear and its next service

• Wear with a bar and the distance left, or how far over it is

• Next service with a bar and its countdown

• Opens with the worst first, grouped by condition

• The line above the table counts them: 4 due · 6 due soon · 16 good

Costs & use: what do I have, what has it done, what did it cost?

• Spec: the component's key specs on one line

• On the bike: how long it's been on the bike, with the install date under it. When you added it to WatchMy.bike later than you installed it, that date shows too, so a chain fitted in 2019 and added last month reads right

• Distance, with the riding hours under it

• Lifespan as a small bar

• Weight and Price, with the receipt check on prices that have a receipt behind them

• Cost per 100 km (per 100 mi with imperial units): what each component costs you for the distance it has done. Alloy and up

• The line above the table adds it up: total weight, total spent, which component costs the most per 100 km, and how many receipts you have

The Storage, Retired and Wishlist tabs show Costs & use only: those components aren't on a bike, so there's nothing to rank by condition.

Sort, group and pick your columns

• Click a column header to sort. The first click sorts numbers high to low and names A to Z, the second reverses it, the third goes back to the table's own order. Empty values always go last

• Group by bike, category, condition, or not at all. Category and condition labels sit to the left of the table with alternating backgrounds, and each group shows its weight and price

• Columns switches columns on and off. They always stay in the same order, whatever order you switch them on in. Added and Condition are there for Costs & use if you want them

• Compact rows fits more on the screen

• Filters (bike, category, OEM only / OEM & upgrades) now sit in the same row as the rest, with a count of what's on and Clear filters

• On a phone, each component is a card, and a Sort menu replaces the column headers

WatchMy.bike remembers which table you used last, your columns and compact rows, on that browser. The first time, Table opens on Costs & use.

Smaller things

• Table view on Components shows up to 200 components on one page, so sorting covers all of them instead of one page at a time

• The receipt check now also shows in the Components list, not only on a component's own page

Adding a bike used to mean filling in a form, and adding components one form at a time. Most bikes are already in the catalogue with their original components, so I made it possible to tap your way there instead. Adding a component now asks one question at a time, or takes a whole list in one go. And the components in the catalogue have their own pages now, linked from every catalogue bike: how often to service them, the maker's specs, what they work with and which bikes come with them.

Add a bike: pick it from the catalogue, or fill in the form

+ Bike opens with a switch at the top: Pick it from the catalogue and/or Fill in the form. The two work together: a bike you pick fills in the form, and switching back and forth keeps what you typed.

• Pick it from the catalogue: tap your brand, then What kind of bike?, Which model? and Which one is yours? The photo, specs and components come along

• Search on every step. Type a brand or a model (e.g. Canyon or Tarmac SL8) to jump straight to it

• Your Strava bikes come first. Switch on Link and sync this new bike with one of your Strava bikes? and pick one: its Strava distance and every new activity count towards the new bike. A Strava bike opens on its model family in the catalogue. Not in the catalogue? You can still create it yourself, and it stays linked to that Strava bike

• Not here? Fill in the form and type the brand, model and year yourself

• Install its N components now is on for a catalogue bike: its original components go on from the purchase date in the same save. Switch it off to pick them afterwards

• No Strava yet? After you add a bike, its page offers to connect Strava, so every activity adds to its components' distance

Add components: one at a time, or several at once

+ Component opens a new page with two ways in.

One at a time is for a new chain or a pair of tyres. One question per screen, and the questions that don't apply are skipped:

• Which bike is it for? Or A spare for storage, the Wishlist, or Already retired for the history

• What is it?, then Which one?: from your spares, Same as the current one (copies its service reminders), a model from the catalogue (fills in its specs), one you type yourself, or Skip for now

• Front, rear or both? for tyres, wheels, hubs, brakes, brake pads and rotors. Both adds two, so each one wears on its own

• When was it installed? Today, Yesterday, Another day, or It came with the bike (it counts the bike's whole distance)

• New or used? A used one starts with the distance it already has

• What happens to the old one? Worn out, retire it, Keep it as a spare, or It stays on the bike too

• Check and add shows everything on one card. Change any answer, or add price, purchase date, weight, serial and notes

Several at once is for a whole build. Give it a list in any form and I'll recognise the components:

• Paste one per line, in any format: Chain: Shimano CN-HG701, GP5000 front and rear

• Product link: paste the bike's specifications page (the brand's site or a shop) and I read the components from it

• CSV, or your Strava gear, with the install dates Strava has

• The catalogue build: when your bike is in the catalogue, Use them adds the components it came with

• Each line becomes a row you can check and change. Lines I can't place, Let AI read it

• One Installed on date for the whole list (the bike's first activity, today or another date), unless a row has its own. Mark them as original components, or retire the components they replace

How it works: https://watchmy.bike/help/components/add-component and https://watchmy.bike/help/components/bulk-import-components

A page for every component in the catalogue

The catalogue now has a Components section next to the bikes: https://watchmy.bike/catalog/components. Forks, shocks, derailleurs, shifters, cassettes, chains, cranksets, bottom brackets, brakes, rotors, seat posts and tyres, each with its own page. Search for any component there.

• Wear and service: its typical lifespan and the usual service intervals. For electronic components, when WatchMy.bike reminds you to charge it

• Specs: the key specs, and every spec as the maker lists it on its website

• Works with: components of the same brand, with the same number of speeds, that it's usually fitted with

• Other components of the same series, e.g. the rest of the Ultegra group

• Comes on N bikes in the catalogue, with links to each

• Need a new one? Search Google Shopping and five shops for it

• Track this component adds it to your bike with its specs filled in

On every catalogue bike page, its components link to their pages where the catalogue has one, and Want to buy one? searches for the bike online.

On your own components

• About this component on a component's Overview: when it's in the catalogue, its key specs, what it works with, the rest of its series and how many bikes come with it, with a link to its page. Not linked yet? Search the catalogue right there. Picked the wrong one? Not this component? undoes the link

• Find it online in a component's Details: search Google Shopping, bike-components, Bike-Discount, BIKE24, FuturumShop or Mantel for a replacement

Smaller things

• A new menu on a Desktop/Laptop (largeScreen). The sidebar is now a narrow bar on the left with the same items as the bar on your phone: Home, Bikes, Components, Activities and More. More (or your photo at the bottom) opens a panel beside it with search, + Bike, + Component, the other pages, Settings, the light/dark switch, your language and who's signed in. On a settings page it opens on the list of settings

• Typed-in and autofilled fields keep the theme's colours

The bike and component pages are where you spend most of your time in WatchMy.bike, and they had grown one card at a time. I rebuilt them around the questions you open them with: can I ride it, what's due, what's it done. Moving between bikes and between components is one tap now, the logbook reads like a logbook instead of a long column of cards, and it has its own page for all your bikes. On a phone, the menu at the bottom is new too.

The bike Overview

• Ride check at the top answers "can I ride it?": Good to go., Ride, then fix. or Ride, then service., with the component closest to the end of its lifespan, the Services that are due (or how many are on track) and your Batteries, emptiest first. Condition NN% → takes you to the Condition tab

• Settings keeps the bike's Tyre pressure (front and rear, in bar and psi) and Suspension (fork and shock) in one place, with Recalculate to open the calculator again. Suspension doesn't show on road and indoor bikes

• The photo now carries the bike's name, year, make and model, with chips for type, frame material and weight. Switch between Photos and 3D in its corner. In 3D, your chain shows in its Chain Games design, and Components in 3D → opens the whole bike in the Components tab

• Service Interval Reminders sit on the Overview, with Record Service and Add Interval in the card's corner

• Usage: your activity totals, a chart of the last 26 weeks and your recent activities, with All N activities →

• Details: Key components (drivetrain, fork, brakes, and shock, motor, wheels, tyres or trainer when the bike has them), then the bike itself with the purchase date up front, whether it's linked to Strava and whether it's public

• Notes fold away when they're long (Read more), and Documents shows the newest five with All N documents →

• On a computer it's two columns: the bike and its activity on the left, ride check, settings and details on the right

The component Overview

• Condition first: Good, Due soon, Service due, Due for replacement, Charge soon or Not tracked yet, with its lifespan and the services that need doing (Record Service / Replace)

• The photo or the 3D component, with how worn it is and, for a battery, how much charge is left. On the bike in 3D → shows where it sits

• Service Interval Reminders, Which activities wear this, and Usage for the last 26 weeks

• Actions in one card: Group under a component, Add to another bike, Set status, Move to bike, Duplicate, and an Alerts switch for wear and service-interval alerts. When an action isn't possible, the tile tells you why

• Details with the install date up front, then Notes, Documents, Links, and the Chain design for a chain

• The component's alerts switch is now called Alerts and covers both wear and service-interval reminders. On the Condition tab every plan sees what it covers

Easier ways around

• Switch bikes from the title. On any bike page, the bike's name in the top bar opens a list of your active bikes, last ridden first, with their distance. You stay on the same tab, so you can go from one bike's Logbook straight to the next one's

• Switch components the same way. On an installed component, the title lists the other components on that bike, most worn first

• A new tab bar. The tabs sit in one rounded track that scrolls sideways on a phone and stays pinned while you scroll. Transfer is a tab now, and Edit, Export to Excel and Delete are icon buttons beside it

• The view switch (cards, table, photos, diagram, 3D) sits on the same row as the tabs, on the bike and component lists too

• Top bar: + Bike and + Component buttons (on a bike's page, a new component goes on that bike), a light/dark switch, and a bar that turns frosted once you scroll. Your language, public profile, the public homepage and The WMB Chain Games are in your user menu

• Dashboard modes (To do, Just rode, About to ride) and the Activities filters use the same pills. Tags moved to a tab in Settings, next to Strava

On a phone

• A new bar at the bottom: Home, Bikes, Components, Activities and More. While a page loads or saves, the logo on Home builds itself

• More slides up from the bottom with search, + Bike and + Component, the other pages (Wishlist, Logbook, Documents, Condition, AI Mechanic, Utilities), your account, the light/dark switch and your language. Settings and Utilities open their own pages inside it, and your Homepage, Profile, Chain Games and Help sit under Public. What's new and Feedback open in a new tab. Drag it down by its handle to close it

• More room for the page. The logo row only shows on the dashboard. Elsewhere the page starts right under the clock, and the back button sits next to the page's title

• The page scrolls on behind the status bar, and only what's pinned (the tabs, the bike pills) gets the frosted band

• Dashboard modes take the full width and stay at the top while you scroll the card. On Activities, the bike pills stay at the top like a tab bar, and All / Outdoor / Indoor is a switch under them

A logbook you can scan

The logbook used to show one big card per entry: about three on a screen, and your own notes got lost between the automatic swaps. It's a list now.

• Every entry at the bike's km. Each row starts with how far the bike had gone that day, worked out from your Strava activities, and entries are grouped per 1,000 km (or miles)

• A strip of dots above the list shows every entry along the bike's distance. Tap a dot to open that entry

• Distance or Date. The switch in the strip's corner reads the logbook by time instead: grouped per month, every entry with its date

• Filters in the same pills as the tabs: one type (Note, Service, Swap, Milestone, with how many of each), Mine for only what you wrote or Automatic for what WatchMy.bike wrote, and Search the logbook

• Open an entry to see it beside the list (on a phone it slides up from the bottom): its photos, the bike's km and … since the last service, the linked component or activity, and who can see it. Make public, Edit and Delete are there too

• ‹ › in the open entry go to the older or newer one, as on Activities. On a computer, the ← and → keys do the same

• Write a note in one line. Start typing at the top and the date, link, visibility and photos appear under it

• Regenerate history is the round arrows button next to the search

• One logbook for all your bikes. Logbook has its own page now, between Activities and Documents (on a phone it's under More). All bikes shows every bike's entries by date, each with its bike's colour from Activities. Pick a bike in the pills above it and you get that bike's logbook, by distance. You can write a note for any bike from there: choose the bike under the note

• The public bike page shows its public entries the same way: the strip, Distance or Date, and every entry at the bike's km

How it works: https://watchmy.bike/help/bikes/logbook

Smaller things

• Component lists and the bike's Components table show when each component was Added

• A retired bike or component says so at the top of every tab, with the date and a Set status button on components

• A bike that isn't in your garage (deleted, transferred, or a wrong link) shows Bike not found with a way back, instead of empty tabs

• When your plan stops something (a photo, a document, a duplicate's intervals, an extra bike), you see why and how to upgrade, instead of "API Error: 403 Forbidden"

• Bike photos follow your plan's limit per bike

• The catalogue's cards show the drivetrain, fork and brakes (or motor), filters you set show as chips you can remove, you can sort by Daily mix, Newest first, Oldest first or A–Z, and changing a filter keeps your place on the page

• Delete and Regenerate in the logbook ask in the app instead of a browser pop-up
