yeah that’s what I’ve been doing, but it’d be nice to not need to jump through the extra hoops
Not quite aeroplane speed but I lost my 235mph segment to a guy doing 333mph. Who makes these crazy segments 
I made a sweet local segment. Quickly realized it was picking up the adjacent train tracks and promptly deleted the whole thing.
At least I found out how fast the Acela trains run
The same thing can happen in reverse. There’s an up and down mountain Kom with a road right above it that people can go screaming down on their road bikes in like 30s. The top few hundred are all road bikes. It takes some of the fun away because like, one of the coolest things about Strava is you can look at KOMs and see, here’s how fast it’s possible to go, how can I get there. Is it fitness, skills etc., it’s a dope motivator. The segment glitches kill that but what’re ya gonna do? Flag every one of those rides? In my example the riders probably don’t even know it’s happening.
Absent some sort of clear error like a 100mph run or whatever, I never flag anything. First off, how am I sure the person didn’t complete the full segment or is cheating? Like how do I know a GPS glitch didn’t help me take it in the first place by thinking I reached the line earlier than I had? Or maybe they just had more favorable conditions. It’s too hard to know. If someone cares so much that they’d cheat at it, that’s more sad for them.
I’m not reading all 150 posts, so sorry if this has already been posted, but isn’t the easiest solution to create a new segment that finishes slightly farther down the road (far enough that Strava doesn’t mix up the GPS)? Unless you actually crashed at the end of your effort, you should have your KOM back.
Assuming you’re talking to me (the thread has gotten a bit nuts hasn’t it). For my particular segment the last little bit is a 15% kicker and the segment is called something like “street name - the full climb” so I dunno probably doesn’t make sense.
If you read all 150 posts you’d see the one where I said I wish I’d just left it alone and not flagged it. 
Should I flag it 
I could do with that setup 
When did joint KoMs start showing in your profile in the Strava app?
My total got bumped up a bit I couldn’t work out why and it’s because I’ve be credited for a few where I’ve tied with the previous time.
I think ties only show if achieved on the same day so if you and I go ride and both snag KOMs together we both get credit. However if you get it today and I tie the time tomorrow, I won’t get credit on my list.
Also noticed Strava has a weird way to retroactively change KOMs to QOMs if someone changes their profile from male to female, which seems a bit illogical for someone to get say 5 years of QOMs as a result of a transition they go through in 2021 for example. Wonder if it’s a bug, curious what support says.
It’ll still put you on the leaderboard but if you go to your KOM/CR list on the site it won’t show up
Random question, when you go “KOM hunting” do you look for segments you know/suspect you can beat the fastest time on? Or have go to/favourite/popular segments to attack with varying levels of seriousness to see where you stack up?
Interesting that’s new
its been that way for a long time AFAIK
I have some starred so often if I’m out riding they just kinda pop up and I go for them. Today I had two picked but a lot of times I go for one or two and just see what pops up in a similar direction
If I go KOM hunting, it’s typically a segment that I’ll just randomly ride, see it later, and decide it’s gettable, or at least would be fun to measure myself against, suits my strengths, or whatever. I’m sure folks who take it more seriously have better ways, but that’s what I do.
If I can ask a random question of my own, does anyone know if it’s possible to see a list of your “top tens” or something similar? It’s not like I’m chasing a Mt. Lemmon or something but I would really like if I could see a list of ones where I’m close.
Makes sense.
I’m not the perfect person to ask, my subscription just expired and I’m going to wait until the trails dry out before re-upping, but I think there’s a bit more of that functionality if you go for the full website version (not the app, or mobile optimized).
Same. And no segments on my bike computer, so I give it a push and learn of the results after the ride is over.
