Electronic Groupset Maintenance Schedule: How Often to Service Your Components

[yeroc602]

Yup, totally with you. Tired of these one-size-fits-all intervals. Let's take control, track our own data. No more guessing games. Time to challenge the status quo and make maintenance work for us, not the manufacturers. Curious - how long have you been riding under normal conditions? What components you got in mind?

So, if most failures stem from external factors, how do we even define "normal" conditions? Is it just a marketing term to keep us in line with those service intervals? What’s the threshold for component integrity before we need to intervene? Seems like there’s zero clarity on what’s actually required. Are we just waiting for a failure to happen instead of proactively managing our gear? If we tracked our own data, would we find these intervals are just a way to upsell?

So, if we're eyeing these service intervals, what's the actual basis for them? Like, do manufacturers even have a clue about how their stuff holds up in the real world? Most of us aren’t thrashing our bikes like pros, so why's the timeline the same for everyone? Is it just a one-size-fits-all cash grab? What if we started logging our own rides and failures? Might show how overhyped these intervals really are.
