Gear tracking enhancements

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago
As far as I can tell, the gear tracking functionality is limited and I would like to propose some enhancements for your list of feature requests:

1. Offer more options in the "New activities" checkbox. The full list of Activity Type should be available. I have a pair of shoes I normally use for trail running and another for street running. With more activity types, I could have more default gear automatically calculate mileage.

2. Allow for more than one gear item per gear type. For example, I would like to track the wear on my bike's brake pads, tires and chain. If I change my chain, for example, I cannot add another instance of bike gear to track the mileage of my new chain and continue tracking the mileage on my brake pads.

Thanks,
Hugues

    second to hugues.lacroix : would be great to
    1. see a foot pod as a gear
    2. assign a gear (pair of shoes) to a specific foot pod in order to add a pair of shoes as a gear to an activity (running)

    I agree. I use different shoes, sensors etc. with different bikes but I have to manually change the gear for the bike I use less frequently. Your suggestion would save me doing this work.
    2. Allow for more than one gear item per gear type. For example, I would like to track the wear on my bike's brake pads, tires and chain. If I change my chain, for example, I cannot add another instance of bike gear to track the mileage of my new chain and continue tracking the mileage on my brake pads.

    The workaround is to create a new gear item for the chain and add that by default to all new bike activities. The old chain is then still associated with the old activities and the new one the new activities. You then just 'Retire' the old chain. I don't personally find this onerous and I have all the data I need. If I use a different make or model of chain then this will be recorded in the new item of gear.

    PS: If you have ideas you can submit them here.
