Why are we building Gear Index?

The problem is likely one you yourself have encountered.  You are standing at the counter at the bike shop and there seems to be a problem with your frame and if you can say when you bought it and can find the receipt it will all be covered – if not, you better get your credit card ready.  For the well organized, you would simply run home to your file cabinet and pull out the folder on your road bike with all of the information that you need all neatly organized right there.  For everyone else – a bit of panic might set in – and it shouldn’t.

We are building Gear Index to help you and everyone else organize your equipment – from bikes to electronics so that you can keep them in top shape, keep track of their maintenance and warranty information and even their values.  The web app we are building is secure and easy to use – and free!  We will pay for it via the small ads shown at the bottom of the screen but the intent is to always let people use the software for free.

Let’s get organized and get out there!
