Knersboy Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Okay, so been using Strava for a while now. Decided to add my bike and components retrospectively to track wear etc. The problem I have is that I cannot seem to specify the purchase date of my bike, so it is only tracking from when I added the bike, not when I bought it. Anyone had and resolved this issue?
Fisan Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Why do you want to add the purchase date? I know it's nice to keep all the logs in one place, but the most important bit is the km's. If you really want to you can add the date in the "name" of the bike. But I still think it's redundant. What I have seen though, is guys adding a "new" bike every time they change their drivechain - to keep log of drivechain components.

This functionality exists for the components. I tried fooling it by specifying the component date to a date before I added the bike, but it still only adds the kms from when the bike was added.

Might be a bit tiresome though....

I thought I was being a dumbass and missing something obvious but now I am starting to think that the dumbass here is Strava.
Frosty Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Add the bike, then add the component below - it allows a date of purchase.
Hennie VR Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Do people actually use this feature? I only track total amount of km on each bike and I only do that for interest sake and when I want to sell a bike I can tell the person how many km it's done whilst I owned it.

You'll have to go to each activity, edit it and select the bike used. It shouldn't already have your bike selected. It should be blank with your new bike listed as the second option in the drop down.

Thanks guys.
