Bike maintenance, worked out for you
Know when your parts are done. Before they are.
Pedal Chronicle turns your Strava rides into the wear on every part of your bike, adjusted for rain, gravel, hills and indoor riding, and tells you what's due next.
Strava counts the kilometres. Pedal Chronicle tells you what they did to your bike: which parts are wearing, how fast, and when each one will need replacing.
01
Every ride, counted for you
Connect Strava once. Each ride you upload lands about two minutes later and goes onto the parts of the bike you rode. There's nothing to log.
- Every part's health at a glance, from chain to bar tape
- Distance limits, age limits, or both
- Pause a wheelset while it's off the bike
02
Wear that knows the weather
A wet, gritty ride can wear a chain like one twice as long. Pedal Chronicle checks the weather where and when you rode, and adjusts each part's wear to match.
- Rain wears chains and brake pads faster
- Gravel and trails wear drivetrains and tyres faster
- Long descents wear brakes; indoor rides spare tyres and brakes entirely
- Every ride shows its weather, temperature and average wind
03
Your next 12 months
See every part on a timeline of when it's likely to need replacing, based on how you actually ride, not a guess from the box. Budget for it, order it early, or book the service before the big ride.
04
A heads-up before it's worn out
You don't have to check. Pedal Chronicle emails you when a part is coming up, nearly worn out or past its limit, with a nudge to clean your chain after a wet week.
- A Monday summary: your week, how it compared, what's next
- At most one email a day
- Turn any alert off, or mute a single part
05

This week, last week, this month and the year so far, with your weekly distance over the last six months and your average across it.

What is Pedal Chronicle?
A web app that tracks the wear on every part of your bike, from the chain and cassette to tyres and brake pads, using the rides you record on Strava. It works out when each part is due for replacement and tells you before it's worn out.
How does it work with Strava?
Connect your Strava account once. Every ride you upload arrives in Pedal Chronicle about two minutes later and is added to the parts on the bike you rode. Set the bike on the ride in Strava, or give Strava a default bike, so each ride counts towards the right parts.
How does it account for rain, gravel and hills?
Each outdoor ride is checked against the weather where and when you rode it. Wet roads wear chains and brake pads much faster, gravel and trails wear drivetrains and tyres faster, and long descents wear brakes. Indoor rides on a trainer don't wear your tyres or brakes at all. Each part's wear is adjusted to match, and you can see the breakdown.
What parts can I track?
Any part: chain, cassette, chainrings, tyres, brake pads and rotors, cables, bar tape, bottom bracket, wheels and more. Give each one a distance limit, an age limit or both, and Pedal Chronicle shows how much life it has left.
How do I know when to replace my chain?
Set your chain's limit (road chains typically last 2,000 to 5,000 km depending on conditions and care) and Pedal Chronicle predicts when it will reach it, bringing the date forward after wet or gritty riding. It emails you at 75% and 90%. A chain checker is the final word; the app tells you when it's worth checking.
Will it email me?
Yes, if you'd like. It emails you when a part is coming up for replacement, when it's nearly worn out, and when it's past its limit, with a nudge to clean your chain after wet rides and a short summary of your week on Mondays. It sends at most one email a day, and every alert type can be switched off.
Does it work with just one bike?
Yes. Most riders have one bike and that's exactly what Pedal Chronicle is built for. If you have more, road, gravel, mountain or indoor, each one is tracked separately.
Can I track wheelsets I swap between bikes?
Yes. Pause tracking on a part while it's off the bike and resume it when it goes back on, so its distance only counts when it's actually being ridden.
How much does it cost?
Every account starts with 30 days free, with no card needed. After that it's US$3.99 a month or US$34 a year, with every feature included. See pricing. We're opening it up to riders in small groups, so request early access and we'll email you when there's a place.
