equiptment log suggestion

A notes area is easy. 

But in thinking about multiple equipment configurations that users may have, instead of logging all the different pieces separately everytime.  WHAT IF we allowed the creation of an 'equipment template' per various peices you select - kind of like 'custom meal creation' or 'strength templates'...then all you do is pick a template of a 'bike setup' for that day and log that, all the individual pieces will be logged and tracked?

Would this be useful? Or would only < then 1% of the people using the tracker use it?

I could imagine a thing like custom meals working. What might be do-able and not too complicated is ability to add a note to a piece of equipment, and have a way to select the date and the mileage for that note (or just select the date and have the system also save the mileage/hours at that point).

I'm not sure if that answers your question - but I envision it being simpler to log this sort of 'maintenance' information via the equipment tracker area versus the exercise log area. Allowing a bike template for the day would still require you set up a different bike template for every different bike setup you use.

Kind of like what I do with my car - I use an old checkbook and when I get an oil change, etc, note the date and the mileage, and what was done. So it's easy to see when I need to rotate the tires, get an oil change, etc.

In the end, it's nice to look at one page and see what was done and when, for maintenance issues. Many people may not do their own bike maintenance, but at least they can note when the bike shop did various repairs to their bike.

thanks!

OK, I see what your saying and it could be easier to do than my idea...the equipment tracker is definitely on the list for some upgrades based on a lot of other feedback too.

Tom, we just updated the equipment tracker and one of the upgrades is adding comments per your suggestion.

Let us know if any questions.

That is really awesome! I am amazed at all the continual improvements you guys make!!

I noticed what I think is a slight bug in the 'show all workouts' feature. If you have more than 1 page of workouts, the total time & total distance displayed are not the lifetime time & distance but only the total time/distance for those workouts that are displayed on that page.

Thanks again!

Hey that's a good one!
