GearWear turns Strautomator into a maintenance log that runs itself. Every time Strautomator processes one of your Strava activities, it adds that activity’s distance and moving time to the running totals of every component you have configured on the gear used for that activity. When a component crosses a threshold you set — say, 3,500 km on a chain — Strautomator sends you an in-app notification and an email so you can order a replacement before your drivetrain skips a beat.

​
How GearWear works

When you complete an activity on Strava, Strautomator receives a webhook event and processes it automatically. As part of that processing, Strautomator identifies which bike or shoes you used and credits their distance (and moving time) to every component in that gear’s configuration.
Gear tracking happens with a configurable delay (default: 2 days) so you have time to correct the gear assignment on a recent activity before the totals are locked in. PRO members can reduce this delay to as little as 1 day, and gear tracking also updates instantly for activities whose gear was changed by an automation. Adjust the delay in Account → Preferences → GearWear delay.
The accumulated totals appear as progress bars on the Gear page. Once a component reaches its distance or time threshold, it appears highlighted and an alert is dispatched. After you replace the component, click Reset to zero out the counter and start a fresh tracking cycle. Strautomator records the reset date and the mileage at the time of reset in the component’s history.

​
Getting started

Your bikes and shoes are imported automatically from Strava. Navigate to the Gear page to see all your equipment. Items without a GearWear configuration appear at the bottom of the list — click the + button next to a bike or shoe to create a new configuration and begin adding components.
GearWear only tracks gear registered on Strava. If a bike or shoe is missing, visit Strava Gear Settings to add it, then refresh the Gear page.

​
Plan limits

If you downgrade from PRO to Free, configurations beyond the Free limit are disabled automatically. Upgrade back to PRO to re-enable them without losing any history.
