There is one sprint in Richmond (reverse) that is this short. But in the various Strava segments that (used to) exist there were LOTS of them, which is what I think Twoshihtzu was referring to.
For a tool which such poor integral tracking of history (30 day PRs) it just seems a very odd move when clearly ZwiftInsider havenât geared up for the change with a critical mass of verified segments.
Remember this is not a Zwift Issue it is Strava that made the change.
Can we just get a Zwift Insider verified âvery intensâ?
agreed this is not zwiftâs fault at all, but it does greatly hinder our ability to analyze our efforts on zwift.
Fully agree
Heâs on it. Tell him in comments which ones you want.
Would have been great if Strava left what was there (locked it down perhaps), allowed for âcertifiedâ segments to be added publically and eliminated the public proliferation. Eliminating all the segments is a blow to us all.
We canât do the sprint segments because Strava says theyâre too short! This has been a problem for years now⌠grrrrâŚ
I just wouldnât feel right re-creating that fine piece of work! Or this one: Rickrolled in Richmond | Zwift Insider
Delete (or make private) all your Zwift segments Eric. Iâd love to see the stuff really hit the fan then.
This is great news! There was so much rubbish for segments - had to keep hiding them and staring the Insider ones.
All we need now is for Strava to use the official Zwift Maps for virtual rides that originate from Zwift so the map looks right - that would be amazing.
Ha! Brilliant idea.
Except that this is an obvious area of mutual interest on which Zwift should have worked together with Strava long ago â unless they did, and it failed, or this is the result.
Iâm happy to see this, there were far too many, redundant segments.
It seems that there will be new ones, created by those at Zwift Insider, and thatâll take a while.
Hopefully we get (at minimum) these as segments:
All sprints & KOMâs
All routes, both with & without the lead-in
All full climbs, like the Epic KOM & Radio Tower combined.
Of course there are others that cry to be segments, like the short steep climb in Innsbruck or maybe the stairs out of the subway in London.
The majority of what you listed already exists w/the exception of many sprints. The problem with sprints is that many/most of them are too short and Strava will not allow a segment to be created. I believe the threshold is 300m
Yes, but because there were so many overlapping & redundant segments it was difficult to isolate oneâs that represented what I was looking for.
I will miss the âLeg Snapperâ in Innsbruck, but thatâll be back, or I could just create it to track my progress.
leg snapper is still there, but for some reason only lists 2 of my efforts (slow ones) which is bizarre because i have ridden it many times. i thought it may take a few hours to repopulate the leaderboards, but this has been since morning. i have a bunch of innsbruck activities where i clearly go up leg snapper and it doesnât register.
@josh_flanagan_slowtw Thatâs because the ZwiftInsider Leg Snapper segment was only created very recently (the other segments called Leg Snapper obviously having now been deleted) and Strava does not backdate virtual segments like they do for outdoor rides. So only those rides youâve done since the segment was created will register.
There is a way to force this, but itâs a pain to do. Youâll have to visit every ride youâve done in Innsbruck, go to Edit and change the activity type from Virtual Ride to something else (for example âRideâ). Strava should recognise that this is a Zwift ride and immediately correct it to Virtual again (if it does not, you can Edit again and do it yourself), but this will be enough to force Strava to re-check what segments you matched.
NOTE - just choosing the option âRefresh Activity Achievementsâ does NOT do this, contrary to peopleâs expectations. That just refreshes whether you got a gold/silver/bronze PR medal or not.
