Home Trainer (Rouwy) users claiming KOMs

Hi there,This is my first post here. I just realised that Rouwy users are now able to be ranked in KOM leaderboards.And, well… My hometown is home of two cobble sectors of Paris-Roubaix (four and five-stars respectively). I was a bit surprised to see that some “random” user of Rouwy was claiming KOM on the combined segment of the hardest of them two and the next cobble sector over Tadej Pogacar 🙃. And the same user was quite high in the classification on the four-star one. Power outputs (for the ones available) being quite far the ones from the first pros.I mean, yes, Rouwy *might* be accurate on asphalt, but on cobbles, I highly doubt it.I fear that this might alter the sincerity of the KOM leaderboards.Cheers !

[KNOWN ISSUE] kudos - unable to view

I noticed in version 408.0.0 that I’m unable to view who gave me kudos by clicking on the text “x gave kudos”. When I click it it just opens the activity.I tried viewing for others activity’s kudos and the same problem. I then gave someone kudos, and once I had done that I can then view who gave them kudos by clicking the thumbs up icon, which means there is no way to remove the kudos once you’ve given it.seems like a bug? Or expected behaviour?

Having multiple weird issues with route creation lately

Seeing some very weird anomalies lately with mapping: In the first image, this was a short, 6 mile run that was saved. Upon returning to my saved routes, not only did it save a Trans-Atlantic run - the distance was way short. In the second image, there is a missing “link” between the street and the path (not the issue). To navigate this, I switched to manual mode and clicked on the path. A wormhole opened and added 12409.62 miles to my run - a bit further than I’d hoped on this route. In reality, this was probably no more than 10 yards. This has happened on numerous occasions both in manual and automatic mapping mode where waypoints that should be about a mile add hundred or thousands of miles. I have run into several occasions lately where maps will “spin” on updating and become unresponsive. It’s happened about 3-4 times in the past couple weeks. Not a huge deal on short runs but kind of annoying when I was 17 miles into mapping my long run and had to redo the whole thin

Newer Strava segments with multiple loops/repeated roads aren't matching Zwift activities

As the person maintaining the library of Strava segments for Zwift, I’ve noticed Strava hasn't been matching certain activities to certain segments.It seems to apply to segments that include multiple loops of a circuit, or repeated sections of road. The following segments are affected by this bug (there may be others):Deca Dash Queen's Highway After Party LaGuardia After Party Bon Voyage Sacre Bleu Hilltop HustleWhat makes this an especially odd bug is that it doesn't seem to apply to older segments. But newer ones - at least those created after April 2024, although I don't have a precise date - are affected. Here are some older segments which clearly include multiple loops, yet they are still being matched to activities just fine:Volcano Circuit, 10 Laps Libby Hill After PartyThere are other older segments I could list, these are just two examples. Every old multi-loop segment I check is still functioning, but any created after April 2024 is not.Please fix it, Strava! It’s really fru

New! Custom Waypoints on Web Route Builder ‌🗺

You can now add Custom Waypoints onto the routes you create on Web! Insert waypoints anywhere on your route to denote key points like aid stations, bathrooms, views or even when you're supposed to take your next gel. Try it out today under Explore > Create a Route. Place your waypoints on the route, then click the waypoint that you want to customize.  Bonus tip: If you have a compatible Garmin device, these waypoints will transfer onto your device when you sync your route. This means that you will be able to see how far away your nearest waypoint is while on the go— so you never have to wonder "how far until the next coffee shop/aid station/water stop" again.

[Resolved] Strava Feed Delay

Hi. Are the servers being slow this afternoon? I can see my ride in my activities but not on the home feed. I can also see others I follow, their activities if I go directly to them but they also not on the home feed. I uploaded my ride over 3 hours ago. Thanks

I would not like my accound to be suspended for that :) Thank you,

Minimum Segment Length.... on Zwift (and other virtual cycling platforms)

Strava recently increased their minimum segment length to 500 meters, from the 300 meter mark where it's been for several  years.As the person maintaining the library of Strava segments for Zwift, I find this new requirement to be overly restrictive. 300 meters was already too long, in fact. 500 meters is just silly.Most Zwift sprints are too short to be made into Strava segments, and certain sections of the Alpe du Zwift climb are also too short.I understand that Strava engineers are concerned with the inconsistent recording of GPS coordinates on various devices, but this isn't an issue on virtual platforms where coordinates are consistently written to your fit file data. (Zwift records every 1s, for example.)For that reason alone, shorter segments should be allowed on virtual platforms, since accuracy is ensured across all users.There are quite a few other reasons why I believe the 500-meter requirement is silly, and I've detailed those in this post: https://zwiftinsider.com/str
