All those KOMs have been removed. If you look at his profile he has none and if you check any of the segments his name is not there

Plastik · 05-03-2012 9:39pm

If the ride is flagged by someone it will automatically remove him from all of the leaderboards until someone at Strava decides what to make of the data afaik.

Mr. Grieves · 05-03-2012 9:45pm

You can flag a ride which has suspicious speeds and its segments will no longer appear on leaderboards.

Does anyone know how to flag or remove segments which were created with dodgy data, besides just labelling them as hazardous?

E.g. http://app.strava.com/segments/645947 - lots of people have average speeds of greater than 70km/h on it.

And this one: http://app.strava.com/segments/773814

Requested rides which have factious data (i.e. KOM's with cadence data suddenly missing) to be examined by Strava Customer Support at https://strava.zendesk.com/home.. Response seems good as Wicklow KOM's now look correct again one day after submitting request....

I think it says it all if he can do 40km/h going up Glencree, but barely manage 21km/h coming down to Laragh

Paul Kiernan · 09-03-2012 4:04pm

My battery went flat after an hour of my spin today:(.

I'm using a smartphone and uploading the gpx file to Strava afterwards. Is there any way of manually updating the data so it is correct e.g. by editing the gpx file?

Thanks, Paul:).

Ole Rodrigo · 10-03-2012 6:41pm

I had a problem with a gpx a while back - turned out to be a date issue on the garmin caused by an update. I sent the file to strava support ( attached it to a support case I think) and they were able to open it and fix the date. I then uploaded manually. They should be able to do similar for yours or join both together.

Why isn't there a filter for '42 years olds who were feeling a bit wrecked and shouldn't have had that wine/beer/pizza last night'?

Beasty · 14-03-2012 8:55pm

Notched up another couple of Noryh County Dublin segments this evening...

The maximum gradient on any segment I've created is 1.3%, and I'm way down that list

In fact, of all those I have created I think I only have KOMs on 4 of them.

Great rolling countryside in Somerset.

Over 32,000m in total or 6 repeats of Howth everyday for a month and a half....Definitely harder than the Festive 500!

To quote from dubbtech.com/2012/03/14/specialized-challenges-us-to-47-days-of-climbing-pain/

It’s a smidge under 20 vertical miles (19.95 miles).
It’s like climbing Mount Everest 3.6 times.
Going up, you’d be halfway through the Earth’s stratosphere.
You’ll climb the total of all five Spring Classics put together … times three

A few segments have sprung up on my commuting route.

How can you be KOM when there's no Mountain? Or even a slight gradient? (Rock Road I'm looking at you

).

Some really fast times all the same. Impossible to beat in morning traffic with lights etc. That's my excuse anyway.

Chips Lovell · 16-03-2012 10:14am

I've noticed a few segments crop up on my commuting routes as well. Daft because most of them would have at least two sets of traffic lights in them. I just mute them.

I agree with the koh / kom inflation but I set up two flat segments (one each way) at the back of the airport where one could consistently measure "performance " as there's no junction of note for a good few km.
Kos should be the term for these, and I vote for a c prefix to denote commutes :-)

Lumen · 16-03-2012 11:13am

I don't think the gradient thing is a problem. TT courses, for instance, are useful to have in, although they're usually out and back or somewhat of a loop which removes excessive wind influence.

Also, I have three KOMs in the Phoenix Park which you can take from my cold dead hand. :pac:

Segments with traffic lights are a bit silly though.

You can flag certain segments as potentially dangerous, which is what I'd be inclined to do when a segment has been set up with traffic lights.

For example, someone has created an "up the Rathgar Road" segment which is about putting in the best time from Rathmines to Rathgar. Even without the traffic lights bang in the middle, putting your head down and TTing this stretch is a recipe for disaster cos there's traffic constantly turning on and off the road.

Although I do like that someone has created a segment for the Templeogue road, giving me the second fastest time. I even remember the day. I'll never get it any faster though unless I decide to take the road bike to work again. Or unless I get a 50km/h easterly tailwind.

buffalo · 16-03-2012 11:20am

I had one of my segments - Knockmaroon Hill, http://app.strava.com/segments/714676 - marked as hazardous by someone. Going uphill, no traffic lights, part of my regular spins when I lived out that way. Were one of ye jealous of my KOM on it?

I noticed that and reported it to try and get it unmarked. I haven't checked back recently, but I've heard nothing.

Did you do better than 1:16 on it?

http://app.strava.com/segments/714676

Chips Lovell · 16-03-2012 11:33am

I just reported it as non-hazardous. Maybe if enough of us do it, they'll pay attention. I'm pretty sure there's no lights on Knockmaroon.

I flagged it as non-hazardous about a week ago as well. I have 1.15.

Will it let you superimpose a new segment?

Won't be challenging for any KOM's but will be able to notch up a few Km's here n' there. Started using Strava at the start of the year and have done just under 1,100k & 4,500m.

seve65 · 18-03-2012 10:37pm

4600 meters climbing not in the alps or pyrenees or some other moutainous place.
