> Initially it was for tracking all sorts of gear you use in your activities (because strava only tracks bike or shoes)

That doesn't seem to be true anymore. These days I can add any kind of gear to my bikes in Strava and track its usage over time. I use it for tracking tire or chain mileage in particular.

Ah, cool. I was not aware they added that. I've been using MGG... Though I will say mine is better as you can set milestones, create groups of gear, add multiple to a ride...etc.

For example, in Strava I can add a bike and it's components. In MGG I can add a hashtag rule (say #road or #mtb) and MGG will add whatever components to that ride. Be it a HRM, helmet, tire, chain, bike etc.

Lastly - MGG will support this for any activity, not just cycling. Like when I run I use different shoes for trail vs road. And again, maybe HRM or running pack too. I like to track everything I use to measure ROI and durability.

Anyway... been a paying Strava user since 2013, glad to see they are adding stuff still.
