Have you ever wanted to maintain your bike yourself?

Bike Doctor 2.0 has been created to make bicycle maintenance as simple as possible.

Not everyone is a technically minded bike mechanic. Sometimes, reading the instructions for a bike repair, it can feel that way. Thats why weve designed Bike Doctor to be as easy to follow as possible. Making it suitable even for a complete beginner. It is an app I wish I had available to me, when I first started cycling.

Using the step by step instructions you will:
◆ Save money on bike shop repairs (Even a simple puncture repair in a bike shop costs upwards of $15)
◆ Know how to detect problems
◆ Repair any issues that arise, such as squeaks and poor performance
◆ Learn how to safety check your bike to be sure it is always ready to ride
◆ Keep your bike running smoothly for years to come

Inside the Bike Doctor app youll discover:
◆ How to repair and prevent punctures
◆ How to detect if your brake pads are worn out and replace them (Including Disk Brakes)
◆ How to clean your bike
◆ How to lubricate your bike
◆ The 7 rookie bicycle maintenance mistakes you should avoid
◆ How to adjust your headset
◆ How to wrap handlebar tape
◆ How to adjust your gears
◆ How to true a bicycle wheel
◆ How to fit a new chain and rear cassette(A very common yearly repair!)
◆ How to bleed disk brakes
◆ How to remove and replace a bottom bracket
◆ How to replace brake and gear cables
◆ And thats just scratching the surface! Weve got all the most common repairs in the app and were constantly asking for feedback from users of our app to discover what repairs they would like added - and then adding these in.

Bike Doctor 2.0 is the new version of the original best-selling Bike Doctor. The original version has been downloaded over 10,000 times and received coverage in some of the most popular cycling magazines including Bicycling and Cycling Plus.

The Bicycle is the ultimate in independence - learn how to keep yours maintained and in tip-top condition to insure it is always ready to get you to your destination!

Here are some of the many 5 star reviews weve received:
"Im over the moon with this app I read somewhere about truing wheels and it said dont bother unless you are a pro, but Ive just sorted my wheels out a treat. The app paid for itself straight away."
"Great app, worth every penny saved money on a service already !!!!"
"This is a good App for the keen cyclist, as a Cytech technician I recommend this App."
"Excellent application with some nice clear photos. Explanations are concise but personal, the writer has a passion for cycling and it shows, which makes for a refreshing experience."
"Very comprehensive explanations, great photos, easy to use."

Bike Doctor has been created by Andreas Kambanis of Londons most popular cycling blog: londoncyclist.co.uk.

Pros and cons of Bike Doctor - Easy bike repair and maintenance app for iPhone and iPad

Bike Doctor - Easy bike repair and maintenance app good for

Love this app some of the things I can do in my own and some I cant do but this app is very helpful. I had to get a new rim/ wheel and I dont know if it is the brake shoes or the rim it is very hard for me to stop ( rear wheel) I found on this app on how to clean the wheel and I have done it that way. But I feel I should go back to the dealership that put my rim/ wheel on and tell them just to change the brake shoes.

A great app, steadily getting better with every release. Has saved me a number of times from having to take to local bike shop.

I purchased a new bike recently, my old one was 18 years old. The new bike had disc brakes and other upgraded parts that I had never worked with before. I needed a good reference app to bring me up to speed with what I needed to do to. After going thru another popular bike repair app I found I still needed a better understanding on what the parts looked like and how they went together. This app provided that. The app also gave a heads up on what to look out for by mentioning common mistakes made by people like myself. There is also a safety inspection guide and a guide to doing a yearly overhaul. Thank you to the author/s of this great app. Richard M.

This app has taught me more about my bike than 22 years of owning and riding them. I have finally discovered how to take care of my bike!!

Nice app, easy to use, well organized. Every update adds more information, great app for all cyclists.

Very helpful app, enjoyed reading it. Lots of basic stuff and not too much that will get you in trouble

Some bad moments

I selected road bike but everything seems to mountain bike, total waste of money for me

A must have app! I dont know how i lived my life before this. Very comprehensive explanations, great photos, easy to use. Thank You so much Andreas, Ron and Ian for BikeDoctor!

I just bought my first road bike and had to assemble it. This app gave me guidance in that process as well as maintenance help so I can make the bike last. I love it.

Enjoyed Bike Doctor after paying for it first time. Then, Bike Doctor sends out note that the Bike Doctor the version I bought will be discontinued but "for free" you can get the latest version. Well, they got me the latest version and I was billed $4.99. I absolutely was taken advantage of and would on principal not recommend this app.

Im just getting into mountain biking and I wanted something to help me when Im on the trail or just wanting to do some work on my bike to try and save some money

Im learning lots! And saving tons on my novara big buzz bike! No more super expensive repairs!!!
