Help & Frequently Asked Questions

Workshop.bike is a bike maintenance tracker. You log your bikes,
the components on them and the rides you do. Based on the distance
each component has covered, the app tells you when maintenance or
replacement is due — no more guessing when your chain is worn out.

From the dashboard, open Bikes → New bike and give it a name and
type. Once the bike exists you can:

1. Add the components it's built with (drivetrain, tyres, brake pads …).
2. Record rides manually or import them automatically.
3. Watch maintenance recommendations appear as you ride.

Workshop.bike is a progressive web app (PWA). Open it in your
browser on any device and use your browser's "Add to Home Screen"
option to install it — it works just like a native app, with no App
Store download required.

Because parts move around. A wheelset might spend winter on your
trainer bike and summer on your race bike. In Workshop.bike a
component belongs to you, and you mount it on a bike for a
period of time. Mileage is summed only from the rides during each
mount period, so the numbers stay accurate even when you rotate parts.

Each component accumulates distance from the rides logged while it
was mounted on a bike. When that total approaches the recommended
mileage for the part, it's flagged as needing attention:

• OK — plenty of life left
• Worn — approaching the recommended limit (roughly 75 %)
• Replace — at or over the recommended mileage

The recommended mileage comes from the product catalog (450+ parts)
and can be adjusted per component if your conditions differ.

Yes. Open the component and use Replace / move to end its current
mount and start a new one on another bike. The mount history is kept,
so past mileage is never lost.

Three ways:

• Manually — add a ride with date, distance and bike.
• Connected services — link Strava or Wahoo and rides sync
  automatically.
• By email — send a GPX/FIT/TCX file to your personal upload
  address and it's imported for you.

Open Settings → Connected apps and click Connect Strava.
You'll be taken to Strava to authorise the connection, then redirected
back. From that point on new rides sync automatically, and you can
trigger a manual import any time from the same page.

Every account has a personal upload address shown under
Settings → Email upload. Send any GPX, FIT or TCX file as an
attachment to that address and Workshop.bike imports it automatically
— useful for Garmin Connect exports, Komoot downloads or any other
app that can export a file.

If you have multiple bikes you can also use bike-specific addresses
to route the ride directly to the right bike without any extra steps.

Imported rides are read-only to keep them in sync with the
source — with one exception: you can always edit the description.
Manually added rides remain fully editable.

The free plan includes everything you need to get started: up to 2
bikes, component and wear tracking, ride import via Strava, Wahoo
and email, maintenance forecasts, service history and more.

Pro adds unlimited bikes, your full ride history beyond 6 months,
push and email notifications, smart recommendations, battery life
forecasts, Teams and AI access via MCP.
