About

DialedIn MTB

Features
Read full description

DialedIn MTB is the maintenance log your mountain bike garage has been missing. KEEP EVERY BIKE DIALED IN Add every bike you own, and give each one its own components, service history, and setup profiles. See at a glance what's due, what's overdue, and what you've spent — per bike or across your whole garage. NEVER GUESS AT A SERVICE INTERVAL AGAIN Set time-based or usage-based service intervals (every 6 months, every 30 hours of riding) and let DialedIn MTB track them automatically off your real ride data. The Maintenance tab surfaces what needs attention across every bike, sorted by urgency, with local reminders so nothing slips. TUNE YOUR SUSPENSION LIKE a pro DialedIn MTB's guided Bracket Testing walks you through the same bisection tuning technique aftermarket suspension tuners use — test the extremes, eliminate the worst, narrow in on your ideal air pressure, rebound, and compression, one variable at a time. Converged results write straight into your bike's setup profile. BUILD YOUR OWN TRAIL CATALOG Import your rides from Strava, your Apple Watch, or a GPS unit via GPX, then mark the specific trail segments you rode — not just the whole outing. Browse your personal, rated trail catalog on a map, grouped by area and difficulty, and watch your ride hours and per-component distance track themselves. KNOW WHAT YOUR GARAGE HAS COST YOU Total spend per bike, broken down by bikes, components, and services, and tracked year over year. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no analytics, no third-party tracking. Your data lives on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud account — never through us. Built for riders who maintain their own bikes and want one place to track all of it.
