They don't. I had one of my rides flagged when I did a segment at over 300mph, i couldn't work out why :/I got a KoM back after someone has flagged the original KoM's legitimate ride.I've tole the original KoM bloke & he didn't even know it had been flagged! I guess strava don't tell you when a ride has been flagged then

Gah. Just lost second KOM on my commute to someone.
He didn't even have the decency to make it look close.

Got my eye on that one - weather permitting I'll have a pop next week. Get it back in CC hands.

Cracking a solo.
It's all very new to me but I've got a 2nd and two 3rds on the segments I've done so far. Got a 3rd on a sprint tonight just under 31mph average, pleased with that as I can feel the man flu coming on 
In a bit of a quandary now though, I usually swap to the mountain bike when the clocks go back, but that'll give me a lot less opportunities to challenge for the top spot on my commuting segments, I dunno what to do, damn you Strava

I flagged this ride a few days ago. Had an email back saying the flag has been resolved as strava believe they are legitimate.
I flagged it because there is a very short segment in Manchester (0.1m) where he has done 15 seconds and the closest to that is 20 seconds.
Look at the ride, the athlete and some of the speeds attained.
I think i might flag the segment then.

You are spending a lot of time analysing others' rides and trying to figure out if they are legitimate or not. Unless it's blatant and affects you hugely, I would forget it... life it too short

It takes seconds to look at a KoM on a segment, then look at the ride, then flag.
I am not spending a lot of time flagging a ride.
I ask for a level playing field, otherwise what's the point of segments.

I just lost two KOMs. When I looked the guy did the rides at the start of the year. Is this how the Garmins work? Does the ride not show until you get round to adding them? I use my iphone so it goes straight across.

Yep the garmin has to be uploaded. It is kind of annoying when someone does a mass upload when they join Strava and you lose a couple of KOMs in quick sucession even though the rides were a year or two ago.

They were two I was proud of as well. He slaughtered the times, 2min 40 off an 18 mile segment! the other was a smaller segment within the larger one. Ah well! the bar has been raised, so it can't be a bad thing.
Edit: Just noticed that it was Jan 2011 he did the ride. There must be thousands of these latent rides by Garmins riders.
