The FIT File Vault is your personal archive of original ride files. Every ride that comes through RideTool — whether synced from Wahoo, synced from Strava, or manually uploaded — gets stored as a FIT file that you can download anytime.
Think of it as a backup of your complete ride history in the universal FIT format.
When the same ride comes from multiple sources (say, your Wahoo syncs it and Strava also has it), RideTool automatically keeps the highest-resolution version. Device-direct files (from Wahoo or Garmin) contain more data than what Strava's API provides, so the device version wins.
You don't need to manage this — it happens automatically.
Every file in your vault shows where it came from and when it was synced. You always know the provenance of your data.
Open the Ride Library and click the download icon on any file to get the original FIT file. These work with any cycling app — Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks, Golden Cheetah, you name it.
We believe in data portability. Your FIT files are yours — you can download them anytime, import them into any other platform, and you'll never be locked in. If you ever leave RideTool, your data leaves with you.
