Right after you sign in, on Connect your rides, or later in Settings → Strava. On the Strava screen keep both permissions checked: View data about your activities (required) and View your private activities (recommended).

Many people keep rides private on Strava. Without this permission Okolo only sees rides visible to everyone or to your followers, so the km and hours on your bikes, and the service reminders that follow them, come out too low. Okolo only reads your rides; it never posts to Strava or shows your rides to anyone else.

Rides recorded on Strava as Ride, Mountain Bike Ride, Gravel Ride, E-Bike Ride, E-Mountain Bike Ride or Virtual Ride. Each ride counts toward the bike it was ridden on in Strava. A ride without a bike goes to the default bike you choose for that ride type in Settings → Default bikes. You can move a ride to another bike in the app.

In Settings → Strava → Disconnect Strava. Okolo deletes the rides it got from Strava; your bikes, parts and service history stay. Because those rides stop counting, you can enter each bike’s current mileage before you disconnect. You can also remove Okolo on Strava’s website under Settings → My Apps; Okolo then deletes the Strava rides too.

Every task has an interval in km, riding hours or days, whichever comes first. Rides you import or log add km and hours to the bike and its parts; days pass on their own. Intervals are set for your bike type from manufacturers’ recommendations, and you can change any of them on the task (Edit interval), or go back to the recommended value.

• Due soon: 90 % of the interval is used up. Plan the service for one of your next rides.
• Overdue: the interval is over.
• Check: Okolo doesn’t know where this part is yet, for example you weren’t sure when you last serviced it. Have a look and log what you find; it never shows red or sends a notification.

Essentials covers safety checks and parts that wear fast, Recommended adds seasonal care such as a brake bleed or a yearly checkup, Full tracks everything down to the bearings. You choose it when adding a bike and can change it in the bike’s settings.

When you add a bike you’ve been riding, Okolo asks roughly when you last took care of the chain, brake pads, suspension, sealant and the bike as a whole. “Long ago” starts a task close to due; anything you didn’t know is estimated from when you got the bike. Log a service once you’ve done it and the task starts over.

Open the task, then its history, and delete the record. The task goes back to where it was.

When a task becomes due soon or overdue, usually after new rides come in. Several tasks of one bike come as one notification. Okolo doesn’t send marketing.

Check Settings → Notifications in Okolo and the notification settings for Okolo on your phone. Some tasks, such as the yearly checkup, are quiet by design and only show in the app.

In Settings → Units: kilometres or miles, metres or feet, and the units for pressure, spring rate and weight. Changes save right away.
