Tiiks vs Bicycle Garage: the full bike or a counter

Bicycle Garage alerts when a part hits a mileage number, with no account. Tiiks adds Strava wear, presets, and part history.

Bicycle Garage is a small iOS app with no account. You type the kilometres, it fires an alert when a part crosses your threshold. Mileage follows a part when it moves between bikes. Tiiks gets the kilometres from Strava automatically and names the parts from the catalog. One is a counter you fill; the other is a wear tracker that fills itself.

The short version

If no account matters, the rides are already logged elsewhere, and a threshold alert per part is all you need: Bicycle Garage.

If you want Strava distance on named parts with catalog specs and rider reviews, without typing kilometres: Tiiks.

What Bicycle Garage covers

Bicycle Garage is a small iOS utility. You enter the mileage yourself. An alert fires when that number reaches the threshold you set. Mileage follows a component when you move it to another bike. There is no account, so there is no data collection. The app is iOS only.

What Tiiks covers

Tiiks does not take manually entered kilometres. When a Strava ride syncs, the distance lands on the chain, cassette, and tyres that were fitted, under their catalog names, with rider reviews on each. Parts carry their history when they move. iOS and Android.

Can you use both?

You could, but each app would need its own distance total. Bicycle Garage's typed entries and Tiiks's Strava sync would diverge unless you update them both after every ride.

Does Bicycle Garage auto-sync Strava?

No. You type the mileage. The alert still fires at the number you set.
