ha! to be fair, I've got a ryet saddle and it's not a bad quality thing. The cheaper £25 full carbon 3d printed ones that is. Only issue is that it was too wide for me. - Bought it before I learned that my cheeks need narrower saddles.

Yeah I've been using one since November 2023 and it's given me zero issues and because of that, I'm open to taking a punt on a different shape. Cheap enough you can experiment.
If your GPS data is there, then can't you use the 'correct distance' from the activity popup thing, rather than editing the distance directly? Where the correct elevation and crop options are. I think the only activities you can directly edit the distance to change it are manual entries.Been getting really confused because i've been getting some weird readings on a few recent bike rides. For example this ride only showed 3.4km when it should have been around 20km

Not sure why this is only showing 3.8km! | Strava

Annoyingly Strava doesn't seem to let you edit the distance anymore.
Other than that, download the original then use something like gotoes to edit/correct/fix it. Gotoes is one of the few 'free' things I've ever actually donated money to. Amazing tools there & saved me lots of pain through the years!
Thanks for the link!
Have been considering saddle change on my Turbo setup for a while... I probably have enough others to shuffle around rather than buying new but you know how it is...!
I picked up a saddle sore mid-Jan on a big ride and it took me 3 weeks to really shift it. Seems any time I do a longer distance/brutal ride on there I end up suffering. But I'm kinda used to that anyway! Even yesterdays jolly by the end I was consciously standing on 2 sections of the course to aid/assist/reduce - was telling myself to stand on the rollers most laps (so 30s every 3 mins) wasn't quite enough one getting towards 2 hours. Nearly swapped the saddle afterwards, but realised where my problem might be coming from... I'd measured the saddle flat/angle same as my outdoor (where I'll do 5-6 hours+ without issue), then my turbo setup has a front wheel riser so the saddle nose is actually point up! What an idiot (I know it doesn't need one but I prefer the feel of the front wheel mostly stable rather than twitching around)! Will drop it back down, but as with any change like this will need to get used to it... So getting ZRL race tomorrow out the way first...

Awesome. I was looking for that but couldn't find it. Now it's nicely updated. Thank you
How wide and if you're not using it wanna shift it? I'm one of these people with a legit fat arse (as proven by an expert) who needs wider saddles

Think they're 144mm assuming it's the same as @Junglist and I have
I've been looking at the Ergon range of saddles. I've recently bought their grips for my hardtail which i'm turning into a hideous franken-endurance/ultra focused bike. Those with a sensitive stomach look away now. Their saddles seem very highly rated for long duration rides.

Ah, 144mm wide isn't enough for me. I changed from the standard Powers 143mm to the wider 155mm
I had this one which would've been spare up until around a week ago when i put it on my indoor bike. Would recommend if you want the wider option

It's got worse....
Unsure whether i prefer this or not. It certainly gives loads of space for bar bags etc and gives a less aggressive aero position which is cool. Can't decide if the bar sweep is a bit too much though.

I was tempted to report that post. How on earth will that be comfortable?
Weirdly the "hood" position is fairly comfy, and gives a good balance between being on aero bars but still maintaining a bit of control and not as twitchy. Although it needs some bar tape adding for a bit of cushion. My main issue at the minute is the angle of the bars. The grips on their own are massively comfy and supportive which on the stock flat bars were pretty nice. However on this setup they angle back too much and put my wrists at a bit of a weird angle.
Gonna see how it goes and then might consider getting a new bar which is a bit in the middle. Not completely straight but not as aggressively angled back and then stick my aero bars back onto it.
Persuader Bar
After many requests, we are introducing a more trail oriented 20 degree sweep version of our Persuader bars. With an 840mm bar, I run a 30-40mm shorter stem on the 20 degree bars (60-70mm stem length) than the same bike with 30 degree bars (100mm stem length). 20 degree and 30 degree bars in...

I will add that this probably doesn't belong in the road thread!

Just additional hand positions mainly. Some people stick drop bars on hard tails for similar versatility but I wasn’t keen for 2 reasons
1 the width is nice for technical descents
2 drop bars mean new brake/gear levers
I’ve been switching between proper gravel bike and a hardtail for long distance off road routes. These bars seem popular on the ultra cycling scene.
I will say I’m not fully convinced. Have ordered some used but new Redshift aero bars at a great price and going to pick up an Ali express bar to give a bit of mid ground.

Is there a way to change the start point on a Strava route? I've put this together for the weekend. It started in another place and then i deleted various points out to just make it the loop nearer to my house.
www.strava.com
The problem is as i've done this it's moved the start point to be to the right of Elche, whereas i want it just north of Albatera. I presume i can just head to the place i want to start and start the route, but then i don't want it to randomly finish midway and then restart the route. I could re-create the whole route but that'd be a pain and could result in Strava changing some sections whereas i want to try and stick to the official route.
Looks like someone else had the same goal and failed. Maybe Garmin/Komoot allow it

Edit a route so it starts and finishes in a new location along existing route | Community
First post... hope I'm in the right "location". I've duplicated a route created by someone else. I'd like to keep the same route, but start and finish at a different point, about halfway along the existing route. Can't find any insight on this. I've tried dragging the start point, rearra...

you can do it with komoot, just export gpx file, import it into komoot and then export out of there into strava as a route.. or use it straight from komoot - I use it often to plan routes and sync to my garmin.
example
tap on that area for example
set it as new end point
click on new endpoint and set it round-trip and it'll basically go from a-b and include rest of the route
then click on the last waypoint and set it to change start
or even simplier.. click on any way point and select "change start"
e.g.
