About

Rig Log

Features
Read full description

Rig Log is the setup notebook for riders who actually care what's on their bike. Most of us can rattle off our tire pressure once, then forget it by the next ride. Rig Log gives every bike an interactive side-profile diagram — tap any part to see or log exactly what's on it: tire model and pressure, fork and shock settings, spacer count, cockpit width, brake bleed history, and anything else you'd normally have to dig through old receipts or group chats to remember. HOW IT WORKS Add a bike by pasting a link to the product page — Rig Log reads it and fills in a starting spec for you (fork, shock, drivetrain, tires, cockpit, and more), ready for you to review and correct before anything's saved. Or skip straight to manual entry. Tap any point on the diagram to open that part's detail — current spec, stock spec if known, install date, notes, and photos. Keep a full service log per bike, dated and searchable, tied to specific components when it matters. Export a clean PDF summary of the whole build — handy when you're selling and want to hand a buyer something better than a memory. Sign in with just your email (no password), or skip sign-in entirely and use Rig Log as a guest. Everything syncs to your account, so your garage is still there on your next phone. WHO IT'S FOR Built for mountain bike, gravel, and road riders running non-stock builds — anyone who's swapped a fork, tuned a shock, or changed a cockpit and wants the actual spec on hand instead of guessing at it every time a riding buddy asks. Rig Log is free to use. An optional one-time Pro upgrade removes ads — it's a single purchase, not a subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MTBMap Nordic at none against Rig Log's shown. Rig Log's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
