  I use a Click with a normal bike (full cassette) but only virtual shifting so the chain is always straight, on the same cog. As the Click is not in the position of your actual shifter it took a bit of getting used to, blindly finding the up or down button with a HR of +185bpm. But now I got the muscle memory and I really like it. It's not groundbreaking but being able to quickly and silently shift anytime you want is nice.

  We talked to Strava on Friday, but the outcome is not conclusive yet. It looks like the way maps of the users are shared will be different as long as you use Strava to feed Squadrats with activities. As soon as we know more, we will inform all of you in detail. Thanks for your concerns. In any case: Squadrats aren't going anywhere!

  New Wahoo released https://eu.wahoofitness.com/devices/bike-computers/elemnt-ace-buy
  No reviews yet, waiting for Rain en GPLama. Might consider it but Karoo 2 is still going.

  Just entered the UU XL event. Their shorter event looked nice the past years but I was looking for something longer. The new XL event seems to tick all my boxes https://utrechtultra.com/

  Yes, the quote I posted was from one of Rays comments on the article after the updated Strava one https://press.strava.com/articles/updates-to-stravas-api-agreement

  DC R isn't totally convinced

  Yeah, their update seems to entirely sidestep things and use a lot of clever language.

  At the end of the day, their update DOESN’T say:

  A) Coaches can access data of the user (it says coaching apps can provide feedback)
  B) AI tools can be used (it says, even more clearly, they can’t), the pretend line between calling it training versus using is absolutely silly, since they are more clear elsewhere you can’t even use machine learning according to their API
  C) That apps can use/show data to others

  And I’d argue the whole 0.1% OF APPS thing is entirely useless metric when you have tens of thousands of registered apps, of which 95% are likely long-abondoned projects for a handful of users by a hobbyist developer.

  Ok, looks like Strava is just shit at writing. From the 'No one can use api' updated to 'everythin will be fine'.

  No Impact to Most Developers

  We recognize that our platform thrives because of the creativity and dedication of third-party developers who build tools to complement and extend Strava’s capabilities. We are steadfast in our commitment to fostering this ecosystem. We anticipate that these changes will affect only a small fraction (less than .1%) of the applications on the Strava platform–the overwhelming majority of existing use cases are still allowed, including coaching platforms focused on providing feedback to users and tools that help users understand their data and performance.

  Looks like there was a bit of confusion on my and my friend's part. We got the "bell"-notifications in the app and browser with new activities of others but looks like they are gone now. Maybe a fuckup on Strava's side.

  But unchecked that other box you mentioned anyway, so thnx. :)

  Those are only emails. My screenshot mentions push notifications. Got 4 notifications today of people doing an activity and a friend of my had the same. Never before so looks like something new.
