Bike Setup Tracker

Stop guessing your settings. Start tracking. Do you keep your suspension clicks, tire pressures, and geometry settings scattered across a messy notes app? Do you struggle to remember exactly which setup felt perfect on that rainy day in the bike park last season? Bike Setup Tracker is the ultimate digital logbook for cyclists, mechanics, and racers who want to get the most out of their equipment. Whether you are a Downhill racer, an Enduro enthusiast, or a Road cyclist, this app brings professional structure to your bike adjustments. MANAGE YOUR GARAGE Add as many bikes as you want to your virtual garage. Whether you have a gravel bike, a dedicated downhill rig, or a cross-country racer, keep them all organized in one place. Move components between bikes without losing their history. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE COMPONENTS No two bikes are the same. Create custom components with the specific adjustments you need to track. - Suspension: Track Air Pressure (PSI), Rebound clicks, Compression (HSC/LSC), Volume Spacers (Tokens), and SAG. - Tires: Log pressures (PSI/Bar) and compounds. - Cockpit: Note saddle height, bar roll, and lever angles. - Frame: Track flip-chip positions or geometry adjustments. - Flexible Inputs: Use sliders, toggle switches, dropdown menus, or number fields to match the real-world adjustment dials on your bike. AUTOMATIC WEATHER & LOCATION CONTEXT Context is everything. When you create a new setup, the app automatically fetches the current weather, temperature, and location. - Was the trail dry and dusty? - Was it a wet and muddy race run? - Now you can correlate your settings with the actual trail conditions. SETUP HISTORY & EVOLUTION Never lose a good setup again. Browse your detailed history to see exactly what you changed and when, like "Rebound 9 → 10". Charts show how each setting evolved, so you can compare your current setup to previous sessions (e.g., "Finale Ligure Trip" vs. "Local Trails"). MAINTENANCE & TO-DO LIST Create maintenance tasks and reminders, then tick them off as you go — never miss a fork service or chain swap again. UNIFIED CALENDAR Rides, setups, component installations, and maintenance tasks all on one timeline. STRAVA SYNC (OPTIONAL ADD-ON) Want your rides linked in automatically? Connect Strava to pair every setup with the activity you actually rode, matched by date and gear — and see your setups and rides together on a map. Distance and ride time are tracked per component, and tasks can fall due by kilometers ridden. This is the only optional paid extra; everything else is completely free. YOUR DATA, YOUR OWNERSHIP Your settings are stored locally. No account, no ads, and we have zero access to your data. - Free Forever: The core app will remain free, so you’ll always have access to your setup history. - Total Portability: Export your data to Excel, CSV, or JSON at any time — you are never locked in. WHO IS THIS FOR? - Mountain Bikers (MTB): Find the sweet spot on complex suspension systems. - Road & Gravel Cyclists: Precise tracking for tire pressures and fit adjustments. - Racers & Mechanics: Maintain a professional-grade log of race-day tunes and baseline settings. Ditch the notebook. Download Bike Setup Tracker today and tune your ride with precision. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://jonaskeller14.com/bike_setup_tracker/eula.html
