Repair and maintenance log?

I use Google Keep, a notes app that runs across platforms. I track not only service, but component size such as seatpost diameter, crank length, cassette size.
The best part is it is searchable. Suppose I find a deal on a 30.9mm dropper seatpost and I'm not near my computer. I open Google Keep on my phone, search 30.9 and every bike I own with that size appears.

That is very cool.
 
My bike cries and waits for me to respond. It's like a big baby.

Downloaded that app, as I've spent $3 on stupider shit. Trying to figure my way around. Tried to log a service for the bearings on my wheels but cant just put in wheel bearings. Added suspension components and it does track hours. User Interface is not all intuitive.
 
Pro Bike Garage sounds good but I just use Strava components. When I have a piece of suspension serviced, I retire it and then add it again with the name if like Suspension Fork v2. It keeps the dates for you.

But let's be real. I ride my bike until it feels like shit. Then I ask a professional to fix pieces of it.
 
Yeah really is anyone that anal to keep records on bike services? I just do the annual LBS tune-up - they usually find some component that needs to be replaced.

Yeah, you have to manually put in certain things, like brake bleed but it’s all doable. Takes a little time and exploration of the edit feature.

My wife is one of these people who still uses a notebook and pen for all her notes both at home and work. This is why.
 
Send the Pro Bike Garage creators your suggestions.
When I first got the app there was no way to group components together. I had gravel bike with 2 different wheel sets and it was annoying to track.
So I sent them a feature request and a month later I get an email from them saying they added that feature!
 
If it klunks, stop working, makes noise it shouldn't, endangers your life or is broken then it is time to fix it.

I have an air fork that is 6 years old with 4k miles on it and i just got around to rebuilding it.

I bet you don’t cut your toenails until they get stuck in your socks. 🤔
