What's new

A running log of features and improvements.

22 April 2026

Upgrade history & better share previews

Upgrade history — replace a component (chain, fork, brakes…) and the old spec is kept as a permanent entry on your bike's timeline. Visible on your private bike page and your public build page
Shared Bikestack links now get proper preview cards on WhatsApp, forums, and socials — your avatar with recent bikes on profile shares, cover photo with stats on individual bike shares
Adding the same part on both sides just got easier — brake pads, rotors, tyres, hubs and more have an "Also add the same on the rear/front" tick-box when creating, and a "Copy spec from Front/Rear" shortcut when editing
Plus now includes up to 300 bikes — enough to keep every bike you've ever owned in one place. Basic is now up to 5 bikes
The /builds directory now shows public builds to everyone, with sign-in only needed to see the full directory
Adding a bike now prompts you to upload a photo before finishing

21 April 2026

Rides page now has a Stats tab — monthly activity chart, day of week and time of day patterns, weather breakdown, per-bike mileage, and personal bests
Stats are organised by year with a year picker — shows your full history for any year you have rides, not just the most recent 100
Hovering a month in the activity chart shows how many rides and total distance for that month
Pages now load noticeably faster on repeat visits — the app shell is cached and data is served stale-while-revalidating in the background
Navigating between pages no longer flashes a blank screen — previously visited pages appear instantly and refresh silently
Smooth fade transition between pages with the header and navigation staying fixed throughout
Tapping a bottom nav link now highlights it immediately before the page loads
After tapping "Add weather", rides that just received weather data are briefly highlighted so you can see what changed
Selecting a bike for a ride now shows a small spinner while saving
Settings page: "Exclude from analytics" button added so you can stop your own visits counting in usage stats from any device

20 April 2026

Parts inbox (Plus): add parts you bought locally or received as a gift by voice — tap to record, Bikestack transcribes and identifies the component automatically
Inbox items are now matched against the component catalog for consistent naming — "Shimano XT M8100" stays "Shimano XT M8100" regardless of how it was written in the order email
Bottle cage, mudguard, and rack added as component types
The changelog is now accessible within the app with full navigation
A "what's new" banner on the dashboard links to the changelog
Model field in the component editor is now a larger text area — room for long model names
Bottom nav label changed from Home to Dashboard

19 April 2026

Parts inbox (Plus): forward any order confirmation email to parts@bikestack.app and your components are automatically extracted and appear on your dashboard — ready to assign to a bike and log as installed
Plus members now have a badge on their public profile and bike build pages
A small star appears on the settings avatar in the nav for Plus members
Component forms now autocomplete brand names and model names based on what others have entered for the same component type
Wheel size field added to wheel components
Public changelog page added at bikestack.app/changelog
Public build pages now show Longest ride and Most climbing stats sourced from Strava, with links directly to each activity
On desktop, public build pages show a copyable URL field instead of a share button; mobile uses the native share sheet
Like button on build pages redesigned as a compact pill; bike title now takes the full width
Stats on public build pages displayed as bordered cards

16 April 2026

Components now track riding time (hours) in addition to distance — useful for suspension service intervals
Maintenance schedules support an "hours" interval basis alongside time and distance
Fork service defaults seeded: Fox lower leg (30–50 h), Fox full service (125 h), RockShox lower leg (50 h), RockShox full service (100 h)
Component type defaults can now have child schedule types (e.g. fork lower-leg service as a child of fork)
