I'm finishing up a new-to-me build and took it out for a couple of rides this past weekend:
https://www.strava.com/activities/18069956712 https://www.strava.com/activities/18083772813
Pictures are at the 2nd link.
This is a replacement for the frame that was damaged when I got hit by
the truck a year ago. The frame is a 2018 Giant TCR Advanced SL. I built
it up with left-over parts from the crashed bike and a few new ones to
fit the new frame and/or replace the damaged parts.
"why didn't you use the insurance money to buy a new frame/part/bike?"
you may be asking. I have two decades worth of ten-speed road
componentry and rim-break wheels. I want something I can mix/match
parts, rather than having a complete new set of incompatible everything. Plus, this frame was an exceptionally good deal from The Pro's Closet.
https://www.theproscloset.com/
First off - the frame is aesthetically hideous. But, at the good deal
that was had I figured I could paint or wrap the frame if I like it.
It's mostly a Sram Red 10sp set-up - FYI replacement 10sp SRAM red parts
are getting harder and harder to find - but with the same brakes from
the wrecked bike.
The biggest challenge is the seat post. This frame uses an "Integrated
Seat Post" (or ISP as Giant marketing prefers), meaning it come with the seat post molded ridiculously long and it's up to the fitter to cut to
size. Then the seat is mounted to a sleeve-type of clamp. There are a
number of issues with this set-up, most aptly described here by the
YouTube Reviewer Torque Peak:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLmRvwb1KhY
This gentleman appears to be an ME by training, and has nicely done
drawings and numbers to back up his statements (he uses 3D CAD drawings
in other videos, he's sort of a much less annoying version of Hambini) .
His experience matches mine exactly - loose sleeve, rocking and creaking saddle. I figured out how to build up the post for a firm fit using
metal tape before I found the video. I did searching after the fact to
see if this was a common problem - turns out it is, and Giant seems
content to let the customer deal with it rather than do some Design For Manufacturing up-front engineering (and yes, DFM is a thing https://www.6sigma.us/six-sigma-in-focus/design-for-manufacturing-dfm/)
as it's apparently the same design even though the frame molds have
changed for other 'improvements' to the frame. Shame on them, and shame
on me for not researching this more deeply.
To be clear, I didn't cut the seat post. It actually came a bit too
short but the people at The Pros Closet included a spacer kit (yes
official Giant parts). However the length is a non issue, it's the
sleeve fit. I tightened the clamp bolt as much as I dared (well past the
4NM spec). On the first ride, the seat was rocking and creaking loudly.
For the second ride, I applied a little bit of carbon paste and a couple
of layers of aluminum duct tape - no creaking, no rocking.
I am impressed with the ride. It feels responsive and light, and yet comfortable and compliant. The weight is about the same as the Scott CR1
(my main road race machine), but it's noticeably less 'harsh'. I used
the same training wheels I had been riding on my Scott for a more direct comparison. However, on the 2nd ride I swapped out the Continental 5000
25mm with butyl tubes for a set of Continental 5000 30mm with TPU tubes.
the difference was noticeable, all positive. I can't mount the 30mm on
the Scott as there isn't enough height clearance, they rub on both the
top of the fork crown and rear brake bridge.
As can be seen in the 2nd strava link, I hit a couple of top 3 PRs on
some local climbs, and lets just say I wasn't exactly out for KOMs on
the ride.
Other than the seat post issue and the nausea-inducing color scheme it
was a good purchase. Now I need to think about how to make it a bit more pleasant to look at.

Liebermann as usual doesn't know anything about anythying but he has to pretend to know everything about everything. It surprises me that after
the obvious lies and bullshit he says is believed by so many. If I show
his postings to people I know without even making a comment they
immediately spot him as a loud mouth nobody.
No he?s been quite correct.Well I tried to cancel my account several times and they continue to track me. As for them having no connection with Garmin? BS, how do they get course, speed and distance?

"Delete Your Strava Account"
(Updated March 31, 2026 at 2:23 PM) <https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918827-Delete-Your-Strava-Account>
Tom, I don't believe that you will delete your account. If it's like everything else you've bragged about in RBT, you would probably do it
wrong, create a mess, and blame someone else for your failure. Without Strava, you would also not have any proof of your amazing feats of
bicycle riding.
However, if you're going to continue posting your rides to Strava, it
would be useful to also post which of your 15(?) bicycles you were
riding at the time. Otherwise, I might be tempted to suggest that you
only have one bicycle with the appropriate speed and cadence sensors attached.

Strava offers free accounts with limited features. That's what I have
and that is probably what you have.
"Is Strava free?" <https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216917627-Is-Strava-free>
There are about a dozen people on these courses that fly by me. Either they are not on Strava or after they fly past me they slow dramatically.
Are those the only options? Strava has about 180 million registered
users. I really doubt they worry if you are faster or slower. There
are plenty other possibilities, such as you imagining that your
mythical dozen bicycle riders care if you are faster or slower.

There are about a dozen people on these

Liebermann as usual doesn't know anything about anythying but he has to

It surprises me that after

Strava offers free accounts with limited features. That's what I have

I also have a free account on Strava. ItrCOs practically useless,
but thatrCOs not much of a problem for me, since I only use Strava
to check out other peoplerCOs activities when they post links to
Strava.
Strava requires you to sign up to view content. In my opinion,
the free account offers few useful features. I have better
tools, some open source and free, some that I build myself, some
that come as a service offering with hardware. Garmin Connect,
BaseCamp and MapSource aren't that bad, for collecting and
organizing your data. For planning, I prefer <https://brouter.m11n.de/?lng=e>.
If you're looking for competition, you need a platform. I'm not,
so I don't.
"Is Strava free?"
<https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216917627-Is-Strava-free>
Strava isn't free. You're not only paying with your own data, but
also by forcing others to sign up on their platform just to view
_your_ data. Don't know about payed accounts.
Does Strava offer
paying customers a way to show anonymous visitors activities,
tracks and photos that you took and uploaded yourself?

That's because it doesn't create the link automatically. You have to
have an account at a different platform, then manually initiate the
link. What I find annoying is that it _must_ be done through the phone
app if you do it from the Garmin side. The option isn't there through
the desktop app, though the desktop will show you what accountsnare
linked. Strava will allow you to create a link to Garmin from the desktop.

Because you didn't cancel the account, dumbass. You're still a member
and as long as your garmin account is linked to your strava account your rides will upload. This is your ride from two weeks ago, the last ride
shown:
https://www.strava.com/activities/18187508955
And yes, we know it's you, because we can zoom into the start/finish
point on the ride map and it's your house.
I complained that your virtual rides are no like a regular ride. I have absolutely no complaints about your real rides. And I have applauded them.There are about a dozen people on these
courses that fly by me. Either they are not on Strava or after they fly
past me they slow dramatically.
so?
Liebermann as usual doesn't know anything about anythying but he has to
pretend to know everything about everything.
He's very rarely wrong, and even less so when he's pointing out your mistakes, like how you claim not to be a strava member yet all your
rides are posted on an account with your name that shows rides starting
and ending from your house.
It surprises me that after
the obvious lies and bullshit he says is believed by so many. If I show

(Updated March 31, 2026 at 2:23 PM) <https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918827-Delete-Your-Strava-Account>
Tom, I don't believe that you will delete your account. If it's like everything else you've bragged about in RBT, you would probably do it wrong, create a mess, and blame someone else for your failure. Without Strava, you would also not have any proof of your amazing feats of
bicycle riding.
However, if you're going to continue posting your rides to Strava, it
would be useful to also post which of your 15(?) bicycles you were
riding at the time. Otherwise, I might be tempted to suggest that you
only have one bicycle with the appropriate speed and cadence sensors attached.
I suspect he doesn?t know what he?s doing, as it shows up as Commute or MTB ride which is due to recording in that category in Garmin, ie have set up 3 Commute-Gravel-MTB I occasionally do go for road rides but it?s rare and
just toggle the commute tag off!

this and even then they ask about privacy. Your Garmin account or some
other account is allowing Strava to post the ride.
I pay for the service that allows more features it is not bad at all
about $75 a year. They also have it free but you don't get any options
or little other than you still have to give them permission to post a ride.
After my ride which I use a Garmin 945 it loads on Garmin Connect. Then Garmin Connect allows Strava to take the date and post the ride.
Although since I am also a strava customer Strava will post it
automatically. I also have Ride with the GPS the free account and I look
at that data but does not mean much except for indoor rides.
I have Strava set up that my profile is public and anyone can see my
ride. I don't care because no one cares too much about it they are not
me. No cares how fast I go or long except possible some close friends I
know. I can only ride as fast as I can because of age and general
ability whatever that may be. Actually on some segments I am up pretty
high in the standings in my younger days. I go back to 2009 with Strava.
Tom you can even delete your Strava account completely it is easy to do
by going to the website.

May I ask how this works? I don?t plan on doing it myself, but
I?d like to know how it works without having to look it up on my
own. You wouldn?t just give Strava the login credentials for your
Connect account, would you?
the Garmin website but of the Garmin Connect app (but shared across
devices).
In the app settings, I have an section "connected apps".
Indeed I have that section in the app setting, too. There are no
connected apps there, though. It says
"Keine verbundenen Apps
Du hast Dein Garmin-Konto noch nicht mit
anderen Apps verbunden. Wenn du das tust, kannst du hier
verwalten, wie deine Daten mit
diesen Apps geteilt werden."
translated:
"No connected apps. You haven't linked your Garmin account to any
other apps yet. Once you do, you can manage how your data is
shared with those apps here."
I guess you must have one of those apps, in this case the one
from Strava, and you have to initiate (i.e. link) the process
from there and then you can allow some data to be shared, on that
Garmin Connect App tab. I'd hate any kind of automatic sharing.
My health insurance is private and makes no account for exercise.This for me listed
FITSAP, komoot, Pulsatio, Relive, Strava, TK-Fit
I do not use "Relive" any more, so now I removed the link.
What data does the TK app allow to share, if might ask?
TK (health insurance) is allowed to know the total daily distance
cycled; I get a 10? voucher twice a year for cycling at least 40km per
week for 10 out of 12 weeks.
I thought that my Strava was already private. Next time they open my account, I will set everything private again.

"Delete Your Strava Account"
(Updated March 31, 2026 at 2:23 PM)
<https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918827-Delete-Your-Strava-Account>
Tom, I don't believe that you will delete your account. If it's like
everything else you've bragged about in RBT, you would probably do it
wrong, create a mess, and blame someone else for your failure. Without
Strava, you would also not have any proof of your amazing feats of
bicycle riding.
However, if you're going to continue posting your rides to Strava, it
would be useful to also post which of your 15(?) bicycles you were
riding at the time. Otherwise, I might be tempted to suggest that you
only have one bicycle with the appropriate speed and cadence sensors
attached.
just toggle the commute tag off!
Roger the ONLY account I have is for road on Strava and Garmin. If Strava shows anything different that isn't because of me.

and how to stop them.

There are various widgets mainly data fields but considering the relative
low power of such devices they tend to be very simple things.

Tom, read the fucking manual for once. Apps aren't loaded on
the device, which is why you won't find any mention of them.
The data sharing to 3rd party application programs is done
through Garmin Connect or the app you're trying to lint to.
It's clearly detailed when you type "link garmin to strava" in
your search engine of choice.

I think the linking of various accounts and transfer of data is as
described above, but just wanted to clarify that you can in fact
install apps on the Garmin units, at least that's the case for my
Edge 830 as I understand it. I've used Connect IQ to put a Ride
with GPS app on the Edge. It had to be installed via my paired
mobile phone using Garmin Connect, but I'm pretty sure the app
itself sits on the Edge.
It's actually pretty handy (for my use case). When I've created
(or found and pinned) a route on my RwGPS account, I can easily
pull it onto my Garmin using the app (with my mobile nearby).
