How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Weekly mileage = 60, Riding conditions (0-2) = 0, Bike type (0-3) = 0 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Chain replacement
    Chain replacement = chainIntervalMiles / weeklyMiles
    41.7 = 41.7
  3. Calculate Brake pad replacement
    Brake pad replacement = brakeIntervalMiles / weeklyMiles
    33.3 = 33.3
  4. Calculate Tire replacement
    Tire replacement = tireIntervalMiles / weeklyMiles
    58.3 = 58.3
