FlandersZA Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Cracking thread Editing tools for activities in the browser version offer a chance to fix those accidental drive recordings after a genuine ride by allowing cropping of start/end of track etc. So I think guys should be given an opportunity to sort it in x amount of time at least before being flagged. But the blatant, intentional stuff? Nah, it just kills it for everyone.
Edge_Design Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Not seriously, just wondering ..... same as when I see a kid standing on the front seat of a car....I just wonder .... WHY? That is quite a comparison to make - a child's life vs a Strava "KOM"! Clearly this is a very serious issue for you and I definitely think Strava should address it immediately. Seriously, just work out where you think you stand in the real ranking and be happy for yourself - no one else cares.

I doubt the poster was trying to suggest it carries the same weighting in value as that of a child's life, but rather was attempting to blatantly address the mindset of deliberately doing something that is just so obviously wrong to everyone else looking in.
Craai Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 100% I guess it's a way to gauge fitness/progress; if I ride a particular route, am I faster than a few weeks ago at the same perceived effort, or did I eat a few too many doughnuts and I'm slower than ever?I'm aware of that. Why ride segments? To see if you are faster than your buddies or measuring your own training by doing a hill and see if you are getting better? If that's the case then I forgive you
Quagga Posted June 28, 2017 Author Posted June 28, 2017 Naaaahhh dude....LOL :-) I don't do strava, why pay yearly fee if its all free on Garmin Connect??? Not using strava to show riding buddies who is the fastest.....just my opinion!!!Please tell me where these are on Garmin Connect? Like automatic FTP calculation? Etc

Seriously, just work out where you think you stand in the real ranking and be happy for yourself - no one else cares.Not at all a comparrison, I was merely saying I wonder why people dont follow rules. I might as well have said, people on their phones while driving.or people watering their garden while we have water restrictions..... People walking their dogs, and not having them on a lead.... etc.
L46 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Please tell me where these are on Garmin Connect? Like automatic FTP calculation? Etc Strava does an automatic FTP calculation? Don't think I'll trust that as their perceived power output on segments sometimes varies quite a bit from the power output from a real power meter. I guess if I had to pay I'd rather pay for more specific software analyzing packages, or a coach. Don't want to hijack the thread with a FTP discussion. A lot of people lie about their FTP in any case to sound cool among their friends, but at least we've got strava segments to sort that out when you're beating someone on a KOM that has a claimed FTP of nearly 100W more than you.

AllAboutRides Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 This is for the premuim members, but it does and it give you Fatique vs fitness alsoWhat Garmin device do you have? My Fenix 5 and Edge 820 does FTP automatically but the Fenix 5 have more training features, look at DC Rainmakers review
Quagga Posted June 29, 2017 Author Posted June 29, 2017 You are now giving the features of devices. You have not answered the question. We were talking about Garmin connect VS Strava. You said Garmin connect gives you the same as strava but free. But Strava gives you FTP etc which is not on Garmin connect as you said. Or I have never found it there
Thor Buttox Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Garmin is blue and Strava is orange!!!!!Strava trumps Garmin?
King_Crispy Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 I see it is Flagged, just interesting why people do that.... what do they want to achieve?Maybe the dwis forgot to stop his garmin after his ride?I did it once and successfully managed to piss a whole bunch of people off
Pure Savage Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Maybe the dwis forgot to stop his garmin after his ride?I did it once and successfully managed to piss a whole bunch of people offWell, you would have only pissed one guy off, as would have flagged it and then everyone else is like, meh.
Quagga Posted June 29, 2017 Author Posted June 29, 2017 Maybe the dwis forgot to stop his garmin after his ride?I did it once and successfully managed to piss a whole bunch of people offLook at his rides all but one has speeds 50-95km/h on steep hills
shaper Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Look at his rides all but one has speeds 50-95km/h on steep hillsGet use to it... as am sure many of the new KOM's will be set on Ebikes if not a motorbike
