Cleats component attached to my bike: distance updates correctly (602 mi, 27 activities, same as the bike and pedals). Its two reminders (“Lube cleats” every 200 mi, which I reset on Nov 7, and “Replace cleats” every 1,800 mi, created Nov 7) both show 0 mi used, even after 2 rides (~42 mi) since then. Reminders on the pedals and chain on the same bike track correctly. Screenshots attached.

Click on the reminder and show what is set as condition.

The ‘Lube pedals’ reminder works as expected, the ‘Lube cleats’ in the second screenshot does not. They were both set up during the same user session; in fact I tried multiple times and kept running into this. Lube cleats, for whatever reason, won’t seem to tie incremental mileage to the Distance reminder.

Your entire gear setup looks wrong.  
You need to set a bike as ‘Gear’ and then add the cleats, pedals, chain,etc as components which are part of that gear.  
Then they will take the mileage/time from the bike they are associated with. Once assigned, you can set a reminder for each component.  
From your screenshot, you defined the pedals and cleats (and also the chain) both as Gear AND as components on the Synapse?

Your screen should look something like this

Here’s the view filtered by gear

And the view filtered by component

I just removed and re-added pedals from the components to test what you’re saying (I hear you), and it removed and re-added the pedals to the bike. It seems associated properly to me.

And default gear

What I can’t get to associate is the actual distance on the two reminders for the cleats; no matter how much clicking and calculating I do.

The actual distance won’t associate here, for whatever reason, like it does for the other reminders. Very bizarre.

Thanks for the detailed screenshots. I think I found why it isn’t working for you, but there’s not really anything ‘wrong’ in what you’re doing. I’d rather call it ''unexpected" behavior…  
And there are more strange issues with gear tracking. It’s actually quit clunky.

When I compare your screenshots with my situation, the difference is that I have all my reminders configured at the Gear level and none of the reminders are at the Component level.

That should work but I fully agree that something isn’t correctly behaving and thus it’s best to keep the bug report open.

Oh, I didn’t even pick up on the gear-level reminders. I will test that out! Agreed something is clunky, but it’s like ~80% there. Thanks for the suggestion.
