Watches the miles you log on Strava and emails you when a chain, cables, bar tape, brake pads, or a pair of running shoes passes its replacement interval. The default intervals (about 2,000 miles for a chain, 350 for shoes) are starting points you can tune, and you can add your own parts. Imports your bikes and shoes from your Strava profile. Mark a part replaced on the site, or put a hashtag like #pwchain in your next activity title and it resets for you. Free, and it has been around since 2015; the FAQ says it may earn a commission on affiliate links to parts. The chain life, shoe life and worn-chain cost calculators work without sign-up and can be embedded on other sites.
