Hi Strava Team,
In 2026, it is quite frustrating that "Default Gear" is still a static setting. I own two bikes (e.g., Colnago V4Rs Di 12v and BMC Slr01 Di2 11v) then two distinct IDs (Shifters).
My proposal is simple on my opinion: Allow users to associate specific Sensor IDs (ANT+/BLE) to specific bikes in their Gear list.
Currently, Strava ignores the sensor metadata in the uploaded files and simply applies the "Default Bike". If Strava could recognize that a ride was recorded with "Sensor ID: 12345", it should automatically assign that ride to the bike associated with that sensor.
So the Gear commutation would be automatic at activity upload start.
Best regards,
Antonio
