ProBikeGarage 4+

Loving the new look!

This feels like a really modern app now rather than one that’s limped along for a while. Even with its old look it’s a invaluable app when you maintain your own bike(s).

The new look is great, the only change I would like to see is the date format being selectable or taken from the device. Being in the UK we tend to do dd/mm/yy and I’m finding it confusing seeing American format.

Otherwise… keep up the great work!

Recommended by a friend, not as good as expected

This app was recommended to me by a friend. App seems okay but a little disappointing. I thought when it requested my Strava account details, and then pulled through my two bikes it would also pull through the component history of said bikes already added with Strava, but apparently not, which is a massive pain as I’d have to enter it all again. Don’t know if this is a result of Strava not allowing it, their recent API changes, or something else! Tried searching for ‘saddle’, and it couldn’t find any results. Also tried searching for ‘shoes’ which would be useful for riders with multiple riding shoes and could track age or mileage and that had no results either. Overall it seems the app doesn’t quite do what I had expected.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for trying out ProBikeGarage and sharing your honest review with us. We're constantly working to improve the app, and all your feedback is very valuable.

Unfortunately, Strava doesn't provide a way to access the user's defined components. Our recommendation is to manage components only with ProBikeGarage to prevent extra work. You can register the most important parts first, and then add other parts as you need, since we allow tracking mileage retroactively.

We also add new products to the pre-defined components catalog every week, but there are still many parts missing. You can also add any custom parts by yourself if you want to track all your gear.

You can contact us directly at support@probikegarage.com to ask us any further questions, or share your suggestions.

Fantastic App

I wish I’d found this years ago!

If you’re meticulous and service your own bikes Strava’s components section is great for mile tracking but nothing further.

Having lunched the chainrings and cassette on the commuter through the chain being on too long, despite regular degreasing/lubrication, I needed a better solution to track variable and independent service intervals of bike components across my bikes, and this app is it.

It’s intuitive, clear, well designed and crucially allows you to set multiple reminders per component using a range of measurements, such as service interval by months/hours/miles, alongside expected end of life by another figure.

Fantastic app and thoroughly recommend.
