Poorly Built App
I purchased ProBikeGarage because I wanted an app to track the maintenance of my bike. Unfortunately, I found the app to be too tightly integrated with Strava and not capable enough as a standalone bike maintenance tool.
When I tried to add components to my bike, I found that many common, widely used components were missing from the available list. For example, I couldn’t find Reserve wheels, which I would expect to be included. This made it difficult to accurately configure my bike and track maintenance.
If your primary goal is maintenance tracking rather than Strava integration, you may find the app limiting. I was expecting a more complete and independent bike maintenance solution.

Great app
The app is excellent for keeping track of what is coming up and needs to get done on all the different bikes. I wish it worked off Garmin or something other than Strava. Otherwise excellent
Nécessite un abonnement en plus
Bonne application cependant je trouve dommage que pour une application payante à la base, on nous demande de payer en plus un abonnement premium pour avoir des fonctionnalités supplémentaires tel que pouvoir insérer des photos. Dommage
An essential part of my life
I test bike stuff for a number of different companies and this app helps me keep track the distance / hours / watts / etc that I put into everything so that when a part inevitably fails I’m able to give that info to the manufacturer. Being able to easily reference whenever someone asks me “how many miles you got on…?” is so satisfying.

Missing bikes and components
Looks like it has potential it it’s missing bikes and components. Bought a new Canyon Aeroad CF SLX8 Speed. Bike doesn’t exist. I try to add components manually half the components are missing.
Strava required
The description of the app offers “Strava Integration”, though the app cannot be used without Strava.
Exceptional Service Tracking
Best app I’ve found for tracking use on all your bikes and the components on them. Reminds you when a component need service by time, ride time or km ridden (who can remember the number of hours they’ve ridden their suspension?!) Syncs straight out of Strava and is super simple to setup
Funktioniert nur zusammen mit Strava
Sehr ärgerlich das die App nur zusammen mit Strava funktioniert. Dies war mit anhand der Beschreibung nicht ersichtlich.
Bikes always ready
Amazing tool - allows me to ensure my bike collection stays in shape with proactive maintenance!
Very good app
I believe this is a really good app.
Not sure if the subscription is necessary, specially for the amount of photos that the user can upload.
The app could suggest maintenance per other users inputs.

La seul et unique apps à avoir pour le suivi composants vélo
Super application très facile à utiliser et qui permet de suivre les composants de son vélo en vu de faire les entretiens. On peux programmer ses alertes, mettre des notes (ex. Serrage en Nm) et rappel pour toutes les parties et sous parties du vélo .
Tout ce synchronise avec Strava rien besoin de faire même avec plusieurs vélos. Et avec la dernière mise à jour l’apps est maintenant en français top!

Worth it
I’ve used this app for a few years and the tracking is very convenient. The Strava syncing streamlines the process and saves lots of time.
If you have more than one bike, get this
ProBikeGarage is a fantastic bit of software. It takes usage data you’re already gathering via Strava (route it through a free account if you don’t) to help you stay ahead of maintenance tasks on your bikes. Don’t forget to lube your chain or top up sealant.
It’s useful for maintenance and usage tracking (how long did those tires last?). But it really changes the game if you work on your own bikes and change/upgrade components. Then you know the history on each part on a bike or the shelf.
It’s really well thought out to automate base data by importing from existing data on Strava. But its internal UX is also very effective for adding components, setting reminders, tracking service etc.
The free version is really very robust and frankly enough. If I have any complaint at all it’s the boundary to the paid service. I think it’s too big a jump (free to subscription paid) for the additional features. I’d actually be happy to pay something because it is truly useful but can’t justify the relatively big bump on ANOTHER subscription. (This is more a suggestion to the dev than a complaint)

Great but Premium…
Unclear why after paying for an app, a new “premium” subscription is required. Not much utility either… just so you can add photos
Essential bike maintenance app
Terrific app paired w Strava. Makes it very easy to track maintenance, time, and mileage for all my bikes and components. Especially helpful for keeping an easy chain waxing schedule w my 3 chains in rotation. Updated very frequently with new and thoughtful features. 5 STARS!
Fantastic maintenance app
Extremely well-designed, well thought out app. Even more complicated things — rotating waxed chains, having certain components wear from outdoor rides only and not indoor rides — are easy to set up and intuitive. Notification system and organisation of maintenance tasks is likewise excellent. Thank you for the great app!

Mega.
Top Tool um die diversen Komponenten der bikes im Auge zu behalten.
Great way to track suspension and sealant maintenance
If you use strava to track your rides, this app is excellent. You can set mileage, ride time, or calendar time for maintenance items. Great for keeping up with sealant (every 6 months) as well as mtb suspension (50/200 hours ride time). Easy set up for your bike with a nice component database. Highly recommend this!

Almost good but confusing to use in a real situation
I set this all up when I got it and at that point, it was impressive. However, as soon as the first maintenance event occurred, it just became confusing and overly complicated. Eg, setting up a recurring chain stretch check should only require a checkbox input from the user with an option to log the replacement of the chain. The replaced chain should then be logged as replaced and the new chain as the current chain. The App requires a lot of head scratching to complete this simple set of events. There is a lot of potential in this app but doesn’t yet work well enough to replace a simple pen and paper solution.

Fantastic
If you're into bike maintenance, this app is a must!
