After the ride, the Garmin uploads to Garmin Connect (which lets you track mileage per bike, but since they debuted the feature after Strava I've stayed with Strava), which then syncs to Strava which lets you track which equipment you used on the activity. You can keep all your rides private if you like and just make the ones you want public viewable by all. (I do this because my CEO follows me on Strava so I don't publish the mid day escapes --- he's a cool guy, but I don't have to rub it in his face :-) As for tubeless, I've rented 3 bikes with tubeless, one from the Santa Cruz factory, one from Whistler, and one time from another private shop at Whistler resort. 2 times out of 3 I ended up with a flat that the sealant didn't work on, and ended up with me riding to the shop to get it fixed because the tubeless tire was so stuck onto the rim I couldn't get it off with tire levers. One time the tubeless tire had an insert so I just rode it back to the shop (the shop was kind enough to refund me the day's rental and fixed it up so I could keep riding after lunch), the other time I was stuck pumping up the tire every 3 miles (no refund, and the mechanic was shocked that the flat was unrepairable). Both experiences convinced me that if I rode tubeless on my personal bikes someday I'll be stuck hiking 20 miles out of the wilderness with an unrepairable flat. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
