I know this is a really old thread, so I just re read the OP:
Pompous, condescending and wrong.

Seems expensive for what it is though! You buy the parts then you pay a subscription for the iPhone software.I get @Globalti's point - keeping your gears and brakes well adjusted is routine maintenance in much the same way as topping up your windscreen washer reservoir. But I think of 'servicing' as being more of an overhaul, replacing worn out parts such as chains, cassettes, brake blocks, cables, bottom brackets. For people who don't do their own regular maintenance (whatever the reason), getting an annual service of this kind might not be such a bad idea.
For anyone who finds keeping their gears well adjusted a challenge, there's a new device that uses an iPhone app to help you adjust your rear mech alignment. I've used it and it's actually pretty good - I've always managed fine without such a device but for those who are less confident, it might be worth trying.

I think bikes are going the way of cars in that components are becoming more integrated and less user-serviceable. I don't fundamentally have a problem with this, but it does become an issue when you're tied into a specific manufacturer or cartel.
