I split mileage across a road, GRoad, gravel and mountain bikes, and for maintenance purposes (and curiosity) I’d like to know total miles I’ve put on each bike.
All bikes run SRAM AXS. My Wahoo Element head unit uploads to both Strava and SRAM AXS apps. SRAM AXS automatically knows which bike I rode for any given ride based on AXS components, and how long that ride was, and while I can filter activities based on which bike was used, I see no way to view a total for each bike.
Strava has total mileage per year, and has a field for which bike I rode, but doesn’t automatically detect the bike. Manually correcting the bike field for each ride is an extra step I’d prefer to avoid.
Is there a way to get the AXS app or Wahoo to automatically tell Strava which bike was used? Or a way to get AXS to display total mileage for a bike? This seems like useful thing and all the data are there, but the apps don’t seem to talk to each other….
and if that doesn’t work, then read to the end of that article:
Note that if you have slightly more complex gear association needs, you’d want to look at automated Strava solutions/apps ActivityFix or Strautomator, which can utilize other data bits to make more customized changes automatically.
RideWithGPS can do this if you have premium. I keep track of maintenance across my bikes. It’s also how I track how many miles I have left before a chain wax for each bike.
Edit: Oops, I see you want it to know what bike was used automatically. RWGPS doesn’t do that.
Get a Garmin Connect acct. It is free and allows gear for each ride. It will sync w the stuff you already use.
I personally LOVE their display formats; charts, bars, time in HR zones, etc. It’s clean, sexy, easy on the eyes, and I can set my HR zones, etc. Great “snapshot” on the phone. As soon as I finish a WO I flip it open to look at how it went.
(I use intervals.icu for deeper analysis, fatigue tracking, etc, later that day / week.)
(Dbl check that you can then look at totals for each pc of gear but pretty sure you can. I don’t use that feature. )
I use a Wahoo not a Garmin currently, and even with Garmin Connect I don’t know that there’s a way to auto-detect bikes based on which ANT+ sensors they use.
My solution to this issue was ActivityFix.com (thanks @WindWarrior!) This is actually a pretty handy tool: it lets you set a series of rules to modify Strava activities based on tons of attributes, including which Ant+ sensors are used. You can easily upload past .fit files to identify and save your Ant+ sensors, then set a rule that (e.g.) if an activity used PM X, change “gear” to bike Y. Strava tracks total miles on each bike, so problem solved. Exactly what I was looking for.
