About
ProBikeGarage is a comprehensive bicycle maintenance tracker built for cyclists who want to keep their bikes in peak condition without the guesswork. By integrating directly with Strava, the app automatically syncs ride data to track wear on individual components — no manual logging required. Riders receive maintenance notifications based on customizable service intervals measured in distance, moving time, elapsed time, or number of rides, ensuring nothing goes unserviced. The app supports multiple bike setups, making it easy to configure different component configurations for indoor training, outdoor riding, racing, or commuting. Whether you swap cassettes for the trainer or run lighter wheels on race day, ProBikeGarage keeps your component usage data accurate across all scenarios. A full component lifecycle view lets you log swaps, services, custom notes, and associated rides for every part on your bike. Both new and previously used components can be registered and tracked from day one. ProBikeGarage offers a free tier covering core maintenance tracking and a Premium plan ($2.99/month or $24.99/year) that unlocks 10GB of photo and video attachments, advanced usage insights, priority support, and automatic multi-device sync. Praised by cyclist.co.uk and cyclinguk.org, it's a trusted tool for road cyclists, mountain bikers, commuters, and indoor trainers looking to reduce wear costs and avoid unexpected mechanical failures.
Key Features
- Strava Integration: Connect your existing Strava account to automatically sync bikes and rides, keeping component wear data up to date without manual input.
- Smart Maintenance Notifications: Receive alerts when components need servicing based on configurable intervals — distance, moving time, elapsed time, or number of rides.
- Multiple Bike Setups: Install components for specific ride types (indoor/outdoor, race, commute) so your bike configuration always reflects real-world usage accurately.
- Component Lifecycle Tracking: Register any component and maintain a full history of swaps, services, custom notes, and associated rides across its entire lifespan.
- Premium Attachments & Insights: Premium users can attach up to 10GB of photos, videos, or documents to bikes and components, plus access deeper usage analytics and priority support.
Use Cases
- Road cyclists tracking drivetrain wear (chain, cassette, cables) to replace components before performance degrades or mechanical failure occurs.
- Indoor/outdoor riders managing separate component configurations for trainer and road use, ensuring each setup is tracked independently and accurately.
- Mountain bikers monitoring suspension service intervals and brake pad wear based on cumulative ride distance and time.
- Daily commuters keeping tabs on tire wear, brake pads, and lighting components to stay safe and avoid unexpected breakdowns.
- Cycling enthusiasts looking to reduce maintenance costs by extending component lifespan through timely, data-driven servicing.
Pros
- Fully Automatic Tracking: Strava sync eliminates manual data entry — ride data flows in automatically and component wear is updated in real time after each activity.
- Flexible Service Intervals: Track maintenance needs by distance, moving time, elapsed time, or ride count, giving cyclists precise control over when alerts are triggered.
- Multi-Setup Support: Handles complex real-world bike configurations like separate indoor/outdoor drivetrains or race-day wheel swaps without losing tracking accuracy.
- Proven by a Large Community: With 160,000+ users and coverage from cycling publications, ProBikeGarage has a well-established track record of reliability and user satisfaction.
Cons
- Strava Dependency: Automatic ride sync requires a Strava account; cyclists not on Strava will need to explore manual entry workarounds or may find the app limited.
- Advanced Features Locked Behind Premium: Multi-device sync, deeper usage insights, attachments, and priority support all require a paid subscription, which may deter casual users.
- Niche Use Case: The app is purpose-built for cyclists, offering no utility outside of bike maintenance tracking, which limits its appeal to a specific audience.
