We have all experienced those rides where something mechanical happens that really was preventable. As the authors, even though we take a certain pride in our own efforts in maintaining smooth running MTBs, and a disdain for our riding buddies who never give a passing thought until something goes 'CRUNCH!' in a ride-ending manner, there are still innumerate situations where something that should have been checked, or usually never needs checked after proper installation, has not been.

'Where is that vibration coming from?', 'why is the rear end creaking?', 'What is that terrible knocking?' are so often result of something relatively simple being overlooked or forgotten. Recent favourites have been disc rotor bolts backing out, rear thru axles not done up properly, and headsets improperly tensioned.

So, to prevent mechanical disasters happening on your rides, use this app to build better, new, habits and ensure your rides are (mechanically) glorious.

The app can connect ot Strava and update mileages/distances as well as last ride dates.

This app uses INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions to download template activities from a github repository at https://github.com/janexner/JKBikeTemplateActivities, and to retrieve data from 3rd-party integrations, currently with Intervals.icu only. No internet access beyond that.
