I already emailed support@strava.zendesk.com asking if Strava can make it a user selectable option, Maybe if more users email them they will get the msg
I rinse my Garmin strap properly after every activity, and chuck it in the washing machine every 6w or so. No smell no issues.
Will soaking it in eg vinegar for a while damage it?
I did it a while ago, and it was ok.
Just a note FWIW, the Frankfort - Reitz road is practically rebuilt, so N3 - FF - Reitz - Bhm - Clarens is also an option of you are coming from Jhb / Pra etc side.
No need to over complicate it as this stage - did you try water (only), and is it not working for you?
At what intensity do you ride?
(I can see why the sport nutrition and wellness industries makes gazillions...)
and many (majority?) are in denial re this simple truth and will try even more / different etc products next time, instead of training and to condition properly to deliver the required effort.... (in general)
