can't get strava live setments to work

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi, I have trouble strava live segments to work.

I have strava premium.

Strava segments are on garmin edge 830 folder. They are also listed in connect iq.

when I ride only one of 4 segments on my ride shows. and even this segment only shows kom even I have pr as first to show.

In device as they show leaderboard for segment there is only kom and never my pr.

I tried sync with pc or android phone.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards, Ales

Hi Ales

Honestly I do not think you are doing anything wrong - it's just that Garmin uses the wrong PR reference!...

I went for a ride today, Strava segments uploaded to device. I got segment notification and started to ride it. I was comfortably ahead of my PR, ended the segment with a nice new PR. Got home - uploaded to Strava, only to see that I did not get that PR. It seems Garmin used a different PR than my real personal best!

My working theory is that you need to set your PR activity to 'Public' in Strava in order for Garmin to take that PR into account... At least in my case the so called 'PR' was the best time for a 'Public' activity. So stupid!

So maybe try to set your PR activities to 'Public' and then sync again.

I have all activities marked as followers only. How is possible to use Garmin segments from strava segments? Is it possible to ride two or more overlapped segments at same time?
