Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?+
Yes. Pedal Wrencher is free. We may earn a commission from affiliate links to parts we recommend, but the service itself costs nothing.
How do you track my miles?+
When you connect Strava we read your rides and runs and attribute each one to the bike or pair of shoes it was logged on, adding up the distance over time.
Do you track running shoes too?+
Yes. We import the shoes from your Strava profile and count every run on each pair, then email you when you're near the replacement interval — 350 miles by default, tune it to your shoes. Tag a run with #pwshoes after buying a new pair to reset the gauge.
What data do you store?+
Just your email, your bikes and shoes, and a running mileage per part. We never see or store your Strava password.
How do I mark a part as replaced?+
Open your profile and hit 'Mark fixed' (or 'New pair' for shoes), or add a hashtag like #pwchain or #pwshoes to your next Strava activity and we'll reset it for you.
How often do you check?+
Our background processor syncs riders regularly and emails you the moment a part passes its replacement interval.
How do I cancel?+
