What this format is
Same idea as FIT File Tools’ field stripper: drop power, HR, GPS, or other channels and keep the rest of the ride.
How to get the file
- From Garmin Connect
- 1. Export original, strip, re-import.
- From Strava
- 1. Upload the stripped FIT if you do not want those series on the activity.

Questions
What can I remove?
Power, heart rate, cadence, GPS, elevation, speed and temperature. Unticked fields stay.
Does stripping GPS make it indoor?
The positions are gone. Time and any remaining sensors stay, which is enough for a trainer file.
Is this reversible?
Not from the download. Keep the original if you still want those series.
