How Do I Use Strava Live Segments on Lezyne Devices?

Learn how to connect your Lezyne device to Strava and use Strava Live Segments to compete on your starred segments during riding and running activities.

Lezyne and Strava have partnered to bring Strava Live Segments to your device.

Requirements

Linking Your Accounts

Using the Lezyne GPS Ally V2 app on iOS or Android, you can set up Strava Live Segments and automatic syncing. More detailed instructions can be found here.

Selecting Segments

  • Your starred segments in Strava will show up automatically in the Lezyne GPS Ally V2 app under More > Strava Segments.

  • If you star another segment, you will have to refresh your segments in the Lezyne app by syncing your Lezyne device.

  • You can compare your time to either the segment's KOM/QOM or your PR.

  • We do not sync downhill segments to devices for Strava Live Segments. Please keep in mind that our system recognizes even the slightest negative grade, so there may be segments that display a 0% grade that is considered downhill and therefore will not sync to devices. Strava subscription

  • Lezyne GPS Ally V2 app

  • Live Segments are only available for riding and running activities

On Your Lezyne Device

  • You will be alerted when approaching the start of a starred segment and when the segment starts. Please be aware that Live Segments are only available for riding and running activities.

  • You will be notified when you complete the segment and whether you beat the time you were competing against. The times shown on the device during an activity are preliminary, and the times shown on Strava after uploading are final.

FAQs

Why is my segment time different after I upload than it was on my Lezyne device?

Lezyne GPS devices use a different algorithm for determining when a user starts and finishes a segment than Strava uses, which can affect the elapsed time reported for the segment. To ensure consistency between users, the times shown on the device during an activity are preliminary, and the times shown on Strava after uploading are final.

Why didn't one of my starred segments show up while I was riding it?

During a ride, if the GPS signal is poor, it can be hard to determine whether a user is on a particular segment or not. After the activity is uploaded, Strava can review the entire activity and more accurately determine which segments were ridden, including those that didn't appear in real time.
