That’s definitely far more extensive than what I’m doing. As much as I’d love to track in that much detail I’m far too lazy. I’m just happy enough to be reminded to lube my chain or check my chain wear every x number of miles. Not they I don’t do those now but it’s definitely something I forget.

Understand your point, and on my side I’ve been tracking tires and stuff in Garmin for 6 years now and it’s easy to change defaults assigned to new workouts. Or post ride toggle off tires when I do a trainer workout.

So looking more at features of intervals.icu for adding components and reminders per bike. Reminders is really what I’m interested. For each bike, I’ve added a reminder to relube based on mileage and check chain wear based on number of activities.

So far I’ve ran months with the new Ceramic Speed UFO, Silca Super Secret and Squirt. Squirt is by far the most quiet (for me) as well as the easiest to apply. Also the cheapest :slight_smile:

Same here, hence why I got tired of wasting half the application on the floor… and went back to Squirt. Got the new Effetto Mariposa FlowerPower on order, hopefully consistency is better there :slight_smile: For me at least, a big part of it is easy application. Don’t know why it just runs off, ha…

[image] Dubadai: hence why I got tired of wasting half the application on the floor I made the decision to simply slow down the reapplication process and make a deliberate drop on each link vs. running the applicator across the chain. Significantly less waste and not that much more time, rea…

But but but, how often do you need to apply it? I apply SSS every 150-175 mile on my road bike, squirt, probably at 100 mile intervals. So you need to weigh longevity with the cost
