MTBeer Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Sheesh... A bit of fun quickly gets taken quite seriously? Do you guys chase KOMS and send screen shots to your friends? But in all seriousness sportsing is a term used by non sportsy people as a general term encompasing all sports. ie, post match interview with almost any captain in world sports "I'm really proud of the boys, we sportsed really hard tonight. The boys gave 110%. All credit to our opponents who also sportsed hard tonight and gave us a good fight" But I digress and I jest. I use Strava so I can beat all the challenges and then ogle at the rad kits I will never spend 3000000 zar a top to buy. It is a sick obsession but it means I get my riding and running miles in with a clear goal, which is to beat every challenge and should I so wish, be able to purchase all of the kit! OP, should you wish to use strava as a motivational tool to race everyone else every time you ride, using a phone is less accurate but also less expensive and as stated, the margins of discrepancy are minimal.Sportsing must be a Muizenberg thing. You okes in the deep south are a bit different.
SAGecko Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 How accurate is Strava really when using it on your cell phone? Reason I'm asking is I'm using a Garmin Edge 500 unit and upload to Strava whereas my wife is using her phone with Strava and whenever we ride the same route there is always a difference in distance and elevation with the Garmin always showing more in both. Just interesting to know... The best device is always the one that gives you the greater elevation and higher kph That's why I threw my Garmin away...
