I love a good KOM hunt and I’ve been maxing out the 5 Segment Windsock limit recently, this is very frustrating. At our new location in Cumbria, there are so many amazing hills around to attack! The five Windsocks that we offer on Premium just isn’t enough.

So the 5 Windsock limit had to go!

How to get more Segment Windsocks

Your initial 5 Windsock limit can be increased from the Segment Windsock Page.

Simply choose from the three options:

1. Add 5 £1.99/year
2. Add 30 £4.99/year
3. Add 100 £9.99/year

Add your extra Windsocks here Segment Windsock Page.

What Segment Windsocks are

Having the best conditions on a Segment is crucial for getting the KOM time. When you add a Windsock to a Strava Segment our physics engine gets to work scanning the forecasts. When a favourable forecast is found, we will let you know the best time to go.

How to Add a Segment Windsock

It’s easy to add Windsocks to Segments. You can do this two ways.

• From any forecast or post ride analysis click on the segment icon  .  Then click the Windsock Bell checkbox.
• Load up a Segment forecast click on the Menu Icon  Then Click “Segment Windsock”.

Your initial 5 Windsock limit can be increased from the Segment Windsock Page.
