CeramicSpeed Bike App

If you use Strava this app works well to track the use and wear of your bike and components. This is like the dashboard on your car letting you know when to look into service and maintenance needs. Also has nice visual tools for setting handlebar alignment. Can’t beat the price.

I just now tried setting this up, there’s promise but it doesn’t really work. It pulled in my bikes, but got all the distance on components wrong, and there’s no way to change that or set the true replacement date for any component. Thus not useful at all.

The concept is great but the execution is poor. Can’t input distance in miles even when preferences set to mi vs. km. Can’t enter historical dates on anything like prior component service and when you select an earlier date the selection wheel resets to today but then saves the date as tomorrow. Something as simple as freeform naming of gear is disabled. For example rather than allowing me to enter Sidi T-4 as bike shoes I am forced to use a fixed list of shoe manufacturers that does not include Sidi. In another instance I can enter a required service interval in distance and time. I can’t set a service interval based on distance alone. Sorry but components don’t wear out when the bike doesn’t move. This feature should allow distance or time and if the user wants both then provide a notification for whichever service milestone is reached first. Too many simple bugs have not been fixed and the App Store shows it was created four years ago. The current version is 1.01 so apparently bug fixes are not a priority. This either needs some serious user needs assessment and updating or it should be removed by Ceramic Speed. Right now it is just an embarrassment.
