Accumulated altitude Suunto 9 baro

Good afternoon all, trust you are doing good. Does someone know, why my Suunto 9 baro shows incredibly big altitude numbers? Measured height (at starting point) as of 74 m is correct, but the accumulated altitude metres during the ride are too much (1316 metres of accumulated altitude for a 80 km ride, which is actually quite flat....). Any ideas, pls? Thanks, cheers, Christoph

Strava cyclocomputer pairing

Hi,is there any way to make Strava speed calculations accurate 100%? I was thinking about pairing Strava with some cyclocomputer that uses a classic magnet piece attached to the spoke. However, after my research, I found that Strava can be paired only with cyclocomputers that use GPS to calculate speed/max speed. That sucks a bit. Is there any other way to have speed calculations right?

segment

after downloading the activity to the diet, the segments are displayed, according to the KOM time, but they are not entered in the table of the best and no one else can even see the segment, how is this possible??

Strava underestimate my avg speed and overestimate travel when using cycle computer

Hello, can someone explain me why strava is messing with my routes uploaded from cycle computer? 1. I'm recording my routes (commuting in a big city ) with my gps bike computer (iGPSsport BSC100S) with a speed sensor on a wheel. It has an app where I can see the results via bluetooth. For example todays route I drove: 12,2km, 30:40 moving time, avg speed 24kmh2. Computer's app is linked to strava and it automatically uploads route to strava when I save3. That exact same route on Strava has 20% worse results: 12,1km, 35:03 moving time, avg speed 20,8kmh.I tried manually export .gpx, .fit and .tcx to strava and each file extension has different results! .tcx are total mess, it tells me that I was driving 85kmh  (vmax) and shows 29min time.Speed sensor are calibrated with gps reading and correct wheel size

How to share some activities and not others?

Hello, I have a Polar Vantage V2 that synchronize and share all my activities on Strava. It works like a charm. However, I would like to share some activities (for example: running) and not others (for example: swimming). In Strava's settings, it seems that it is "all or nothing". I wish I was wrong. Could you give me an answer? Best, Alex

Apple Watch Lap markers

I've noticed annoying issues with Apple Watch run workouts and Strava. If I set alerts (i.e. pace range alerts etc...) for a custom apple watch run workout. Strava interprets each alert as a new lap. This feels like a bug, has anyone else had the same issue?

Mejorar funciones con COROS | Enhance features with COROS

Llevo años usando STRAVA pro y estoy muy contento con el servicio que dais, no tengo problema en pagar la subscripción, pero sintiéndolo mucho, lo he dejado de hacer hasta que no lleguen mejoras con mi dispositivo COROS.  ¿Tenéis pensado ofrecer compatibilidad con BEACON para dispositivos COROS? ¿Va a ofrecer Live segments COROS en sus dispositivos? Gracias I've been using STRAVA pro for years and I'm very happy with the service you provide, I have no problem paying the subscription, but sorry, I've stopped doing it until improvements arrive with my COROS device. Do you plan to offer BEACON support for COROS devices? Are you going to offer COROS Live segments on your devices? Thank you

Apple Watch Ultra - 3 Runs in a row, 1 missing map and data - why? any fix?

So I did 3 runs today using Strava App on Apple Watch Ultra. Warmup, RACE and Cooldown. The RACE, typically, has absurdly not uploaded with any data other than bang accurate mileage and timing(to the chip). Yet despite the fact I used the app to monitor my HR and Pace... it's uploaded those or the MAP. There was very little time or distance between the 3, nor did I have my phone at all.   Why?

Zwift segments appear and then disappear

When I complete a Zwift ride and its is automatically uploaded to Strava, I can see the segments I rode. Then, puff, second look at Strava later on, they are all gone! Others on the same ride still have the segments showing. On the web page I don't see any segments for my ride and on the app it tells me 'No segments on this route' (yes there were!). If I tap that sign, I get a message to check my email for a verification email that never arrives. (Yes, my email is the correct email in settings). Any ideas what is going on? Thx.

HR and other data no longer upload long with activity

Hi,There seems to be an issue with HR and other data such as map and pace no longer displaying on Strava with activities uploaded from the Apple Watch.My Yoga activities stopped having HR data - although it’s shown in the activity in Apple Fitness. Someone else on Reddit has had the same issue with a recent run. https://www.reddit.com/r/Strava/comments/15ofdf7/why_isnt_analysis_hr_and_map_not_available/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1Would appreciate you looking into this! Also worth noting that I updated to the latest Strava app yesterday, so this bug has shown up since then. Thanks,Ste.

No power on indoor ride

I have assioma duo and an element bolt. It displays power just fine. After an indoor ride I do not see power or even estimated power on the Overview tab. Is there something I'm missing here to get the power to import properly?

Inline skating calories burn with Apple Watch

Hi, I would like to ask if inline skating workout will include calaries burn? Im using Strava w Apple Watch 7 when it doesnt include this data. On Apple side api it is possible to store this data. Strava already has access to all the sensors and it measures heart rate for example. Could you please take a look on this?

Live Segments, Cadence Data and No Duplication

Hi, I think I know the answer to this is (not available/in the roadmap etc etc).I have a speed/cadence sensor and HRM (all Ant+ and BT). Currently I record rides on my Garmin watch and it syncs to strava on completion.I used to use Live segments back when strava supported cadence sensors.Now I think the only way to have live segments and my sensor data is to record the activity on my watch as normal and ALSO start an activity on strava on my bar mounted phone. This will give me everything I need but will duplicate the activity?Is there a solution? TIA

Garmin to Strava Data Issue/Query

I did a run this morning and used my Forerunner 245 to track the run. The run involved some walking and some stopping but my run uploaded to Strava and took the "Moving Time" time/pace and splits. I had to change the activity type to "Race" in Strava to show the Elapsed Time, correct pace and correct splits that were shown in Garmin Connect - if that makes sense 🙂 A couple of others who I ran with who also use Garmin devices had their runs uploaded to Strava and it shows the data as per Garmin and they hadn't changed their activity to "Race" in Strava. Is there a setting in Garmin and/or Strava that transfers and shows the total data without me having to change the activity to "Race" in Strava?

Tool(s) for revising a bad GPS track?

Hi all, is there an external tool that I can use to revise a GPS track and re-import it back to Strava? For some reason my GPS watch lost signal for a few miles on a run. So it shows a straight-line on the map, and the mileage is messed up. I was following a well established trail and the track was correctly recorded on my return trip. So the location data is available. Of course I won't be able to recover the lap times but that's fine. Thanks in advance.

Galaxy Watch 4

I'm not getting heart rate data into Strava and I can't figure out why / how. I've done 2 rides now, starting once in Samsung health and once in Strava. Health always records my heart rate as I ride, but the data isn't getting to Strava app. If I start my ride in strava app, I get no heart rate data at all. Everything seems logged in / sync'd, etc correctly. Any ideas?
