Strava Premium

[Milkfloat]

Maybe but live segments is the most interesting feature and you need premium.

I load them manually. It is not too difficult.

When my trial runs out I'll see how I get on. Good to know about manual loading.

Actually I would say that Stavistix Chome add on gives you far more detailed data than Premium.

That's the ext I use in chrome ! Has lots of data if that's your thing ! Think I'm just bored of it all now and don't bother about segments. Quite the opposite of what I was up to 3yrs ago !

There's some chumps going around on Vespas taking all the segs. Very sad.

Similarly round here there are guys mopping of KoMs on the trail centres on their ebikes - what's the point?

I upgraded endomondo last month and to ne honest i won't bother with it next year. Im not bothered about calories, and heart rate and anything else. All i use it for is to give me an estimate of how far i have gone and how long it took me.

When I was doing a lot of riding I did upgrade both, just for added interest. I'm not doing much at the moment so haven't bothered, I may return, the features are good but not really needed

However this is coming from someone who was trying to KOM on any segment going a few years back. Now I really don't give a stuff apart from log my miles.

Exactly my my view at the minute, I did enjoy Strava for a while but I am trying a Strava free period and logging my miles on Ride With GPS, I have given away 40 Kom's but I downloaded all the files before I closed my account, if I feel so inclined again I can always upload them and see how many are still valid.

On the topic of KOM's a scooter rider who takes all the KOM's around here (mentioned this before) crashed with a car and broke his leg. No sympathy for the rat bag.

Does it really matter? Even in the context of some amatuer social cyclists busting a gut on a Sunday morning, does it really matter if some nobber with assistance grabs a so-called KoM?

 

[MrGrumpy]

Hence I don't bother my rs now about killing it more interested in my mileage and calorie burn.

You can get them somehow without, I'm not exactly sure how but I find it annoying when it suddenly pops up on my 1000. I think you just need to star the segment in Garmin Connect.

I had a look at VeloViewer today. Yes there is a lot of information on it, but think I'll stick to Strava and Garmin for now. I may decide to go Premium on Strava but I'm not in a rush in deciding just yet.

 

[HLaB]

I got one free trial and after it ran out I got another, I did use two different cards though :-/

 

[FlyingCyclist]

When I put my rides on Garmin and went to look at them on Strava, I noticed I got a popup window for a trial on Strava. When I get my new bike I may sign up for the free trial and see how I get on with it

Surely most top tens will soon be out of reach for most people. Can't be long before they've all been taken by Strava nutters gambolling about in gale force tail winds. Will Strava then lose some of it's appeal?
