How to Get Strava KOMs

День тому

This video gives you all the info you need to steal those Strava KOMs back from Rick! Cycling is a sport of sacrifice and you may have to sacrifice your dignity in order to do it, but it'll be worth it for those kudos.

Some sound advice here folks. Although, you forgot to mention: 1) you should use a TT bike with disc wheel, pro level skinsuit and overshoes 2) leave the saddle bag at home, take off the bottle cages 3) sacrifice the rest of the ride in order to stay fresh for the segment, i.e. ride at 100w until you get to the segment, then ride so hard that you rip your muscles to pieces then can barely limp home Trust me folks, KOMs are what I do.

Great video, couldn't stop laughing. One strategy that my sensei BHD forgot is that the best way of gaining KOM's is by making some obscure segments that are in areas where not a lot of people ride, or some areas where people usually slow down. For instance, the last 50m of a very steep climb, followed by the next 500m of the downhill, riders will be so caught up in the actual hill KOM that they will not see your KOM.

@matt.eggleton 3 роки тому

BHD, you overlooked one of the easiest ways to stack up KOMs. Create your own segments! The best way to ensure dominance and longevity is to create meandering figure-8 style segments in your neighborhood that no one would ever ride. Of course, don't ride hard when riding them the first time, then pick up the pace a tad the second time. BOOM! Another KOM that will never be taken away that you can stack up on your others for your end of year report! Woot! :)

@skippypicasso 3 роки тому

finally, a video about me! A couple of other tips/tricks: if you live in a snowy place like me, set your KOMs at the very end of riding season after all the cycle tourists have left.
