Why Service Tracking Matters: From Road to Trail
Whether you're counting grams on a carbon road bike or abusing your enduro rig in the bike park, one truth remains constant: bicycles are machines that require maintenance. All too often, service intervals are guessed, ignored, or forgotten until something creates a horrifying noise or, worse, fails mid-ride.
The Hidden Cost of Neglect
We've all been there. You ride your bike, it feels fine, so you keep riding. But wear is gradual. Your chain stretches, cassette teeth wear down, and suspension fluid breaks down slowly. By the time you notice a problem, you might be looking at a repair bill that costs three times as much as the preventative maintenance would have.
For road cyclists, a worn chain can destroy an expensive cassette and chainrings in thousands of kilometers less than their potential lifespan. For mountain bikers, neglecting fork seals can lead to scored stanchions—essentially totaling your fork.
Enter Service Forecasting
This is where MTB-Tracker changes the game. We don't just log what you've done; we help you predict what you need to do.
Our intelligent Service Forecast feature takes the guesswork out of maintenance. By integrating with your ride data, we track the actual usage of every component on your bike—measured in real hours and distance.
Smart Intervals for Every Bike
A chain on a muddy winter MTB ride wears out much faster than on a dry summer road ride. That's why our system allows for customizable service intervals based on bike type.
- For Suspensions: track hours ridden to hit that perfect 50-hour or 200-hour service window, ensuring your suspension feels plush and protects your investment.
- For Drivetrains: track distance to catch chain wear before it eats your cassette.
Peace of Mind on Every Ride
Riding is about freedom, not worrying if your equipment will hold up. By automating your service tracking, you can drop into that descent or sprint for the town line with total confidence, knowing your machine is running at 100%.
Start tracking today and stop guessing. Your bike will thank you.
