Frequently asked questions
Why aren't my rides showing up?
Pull down to sync on the main screen. Wearage fetches new rides on demand — it doesn't run in the background. If rides are still missing after syncing, make sure Wearage still has access to your Strava account at strava.com/settings/apps.
How do I add a component to a bike?
Tap a bike from the garage screen, then tap the + button to add a component. You can set a custom install date if the component was fitted before you started using Wearage — the app will backfill wear from your Strava history.
What's the difference between total wear and service distance?
Total wear counts all distance ridden since the component was installed. Service distance resets when you log a service event (e.g. re-waxing a chain) and counts from that point. Both are shown separately on the component detail screen.
Why is my Sync history empty?
The component detail screen has a Maintenance / Sync toggle on its history section. Sync history recording started in a recent update, so it only shows syncs from that point onward — there's no backfill of rides from before then. It will start filling in after your next Strava sync.
What's the "Importing your rides" banner on the garage screen?
Ride stats need per-ride history, which Wearage imports from Strava in the background the first time you use the app after this feature launched — up to 3 years back, a little at a time so it doesn't compete with your normal syncing. The garage card and Ride Stats screen show your real numbers as they arrive rather than waiting for the import to finish, and a "still importing" note appears until it's done. This only happens once; new rides are captured automatically from then on.
What's the "Needs attention" card on the garage screen?
It's a summary of everything currently due across every bike in your garage, so you don't have to check each bike individually: parts past their replacement threshold, services or waxes that are overdue, and tubeless sealant that needs topping up. Tap any item to jump straight to that component. The card only appears when something is actually due — if everything's in good shape, you won't see it at all.
How do I attach a cassette (or tire, or rotor) to a wheelset?
Open the cassette's detail screen and choose Attach to wheelset from the ⋮ menu, then pick which wheelset it's mounted on. From then on, activating that wheelset — swapping which wheels are on the bike — automatically activates the cassette (and any tires or rotors) attached to it too, so wear tracking follows the part without you having to activate it separately. Only cassettes, front/rear tires, and front/rear disc rotors can be attached, and only to a wheelset. Use Detach from wheelset to go back to tracking it independently.
What's the "Interactive bike diagram" setting?
It's an experimental, opt-in way to browse a bike's components: a 3D bike you can spin with your finger instead of scrolling a list. Drag sideways to turn it all the way around, or up and down to tilt the view from ground level to almost directly overhead. Pinch to zoom in on a crowded area — the drivetrain, say — and drag with two fingers to move around once you're in; Reset view puts everything back. Drag the Assembled/Exploded slider to pull the parts away from the frame, then tap any part — its label, or its row in the "Parts" list — to open its details. Parts you haven't added yet show as faint outlines — and their numbered labels are faded to match — so you can see at a glance what's tracked and what isn't; tap one to add it. Anything worn out or overdue is ringed in colour right on the bike and gets a small badge showing which part it is, and a Needs attention list under the bike spells out exactly what's due and why; tap a row to open that component. Turn it on from Settings → Experimental; it's off by default while we keep improving it, and you can switch back to the list view at any time from the bike screen's toolbar.
Can I use Wearage without a Strava account?
Not currently — Strava is how Wearage gets your ride data. A Strava free account works fine; you don't need a subscription.
How do I delete my account and data?
Email the address above and we'll permanently delete your account, bikes, components, and sync history within 30 days. You can also revoke the app's Strava access at any time at strava.com/settings/apps.
Does Wearage work on Android?
Wearage is currently iOS only. Android support may come in a future version — email us if that matters to you.
Is my ride data safe?
Yes. Wearage only syncs distance and bike association from your rides — no GPS routes, heart rate, or power data. Your Strava tokens are stored encrypted in the iOS Keychain. Full details in the Privacy Policy.
