Right now every component installed to a bike picks up every ride on that bike (depending on the install date). If you keep one wheelset for the trainer and another for outdoors, or swap between mountain bike and gravel tyres on the same frame, both sets wear out on paper while only one of them is being ridden. Same story if you rotate several pairs of shoes. You can off course uninstall and later re-install but that is cumbersome.
I'm planning to fix this in two steps.
First, by the kind of ride. On a component you'll be able to say it only counts for indoor rides, or only outdoor, or only for a particular sort of ride — road, gravel, mountain bike, e-bike. Strava already records which kind each activity was, so this works with what you've uploaded already, including rides from months ago. It stays off unless you switch it on for a specific part, so nothing changes for anyone who doesn't want it.
Second, and I'm less sure about this one: tags. For things the kind of ride can't separate — four pairs of shoes, two identical wheelsets — you'd give a part a tag, add it to your Strava ride title like #raceshoes, and only that part picks up the ride. It depends on you remembering to type it, which makes it the weaker of the two, and the first step may well cover most cases on its own.
