Our Android app now contains the replacing a cassette repair. There is also now support for storing Bike Doctor on your SD card.

Head into the marketplace and hit My Apps to download the update.

I’ve just finished adding the replacing a cassette repair. It should be with you in the next couple of weeks!

It’s a repair you need to do if you start noticing your chain slipping. Something that I see far too many cyclists on the road suffer from!

Next up: Disk brakes!

We were voted “Best for fixing your bike” in London Cyclist magazine Xmas 2010.

Thanks guys! The text:

Few of us are organised enough (or we’re too much like weight weenies) to carry a maintenance manual in our panniers, but now you don’t have to. Using photos and text, this neat little app walks you through over 20 repairs. Most of them – such as truing a wheel or replacing disc brake pads – aren’t things you’d do in an emergency (punctures are an exception), but for under a couple of quid Bike Doctor is a mine of information for those days when your bike’s crocked and you’re stuck on the bus.

All you need to do to use it is update to the latest version from app store and then head to the settings screen to enter your Twitter details.

Once you’ve completed a repair (hitting done on the final screen) you will be prompted if you want to Tweet your repair.

We hope you like this new functionality and we’ll also look into adding it to the Android version.

Next up: More repairs!

If you find yourself stuck, facing a repair that you are not quite sure how to complete, help is instantly at hand:

Getting your bicycle repaired or maintained can be a costly adventure at best. A simple tire repair can run you $10 – $30, where a spring maintenance package can run up to $100! Thankfully, Bike Doctor App for Android is now available, and it’s extremely easy to use!

Bike Doctor for Android now available

Android Guys

There’s a new app in town, and it goes by the name of Bike Doctor. What does it do, you ask? Well, the name is pretty self-explanatory. The Bike Doctor app shows you how to repair your bicycle while on the go.

Bike Doctor Good for beginners and pros

Bike Rumor

We’ve been using this iPhone app from Bike Doctor for a few months now since it was released back in June, and are pretty impressed by the range of repairs and general maintenance tips it covers.

Bike Doctor App Review

25 of the most common bike repairs in your pocket

Bike Doctor for the Android is launching with 24 repairs. We’ve already added a few more and disk brakes will be next.

• The repairs that will save you money – such as cleaning and lubricating your bike
• The repairs that you’ll inevitably have to do – such as puncture repairs (usually occur on rainy days in the middle of nowhere)
• The repairs that you’ll be amazed you can do yourself – such as indexing gears

Easiest bike maintenance manual you’ll ever own

Bike Doctor not only costs a fraction of a bike maintenance book and is 1/8th of the size but it’s also easier to follow:

• Clear colour pictures for every step
• Short, jargon-free description of what to do

A bike mechanic in your pocket at all times

Because problems with bikes don’t just occur when you’re at home with easy access to the internet.

Save a ton of money as soon as you do your first repair

Even doing a simple repair such as fixing a puncture means you can save £10 – £20 on bike shop costs. On the more advanced repairs that figure is even higher. What will you spend the extra cash in your pocket on?

Good for beginners and professionals

Even the bike repair pro’s out there can occasionally forget a few repair details. This app is great for quick reference.

• Ever wanted to install new handlebar tape on your road bike? We’ll show you how in a beautifully illustrated new repair we’re adding
• Want to know if that bike is road worthy? We’re adding a safety check section so you can check for any problems
