For Stages Indoor Cycling bikes with a Stages Power meter, regular service updates may be required to keep the firmware up to date and utilize our latest revisions, improvements, and bug fixes. Performing a firmware update in the field is easy and simply requires using a compatible mobile device (phone or tablet) with the StagesPower app.
Please reference these steps when providing routine service to your Stages Indoor Cycling bikes in the field. We recommend waiting 5 minutes after any use of the bikes is completed to help streamline the update process. This is not required but will make it easier to update each bike individually when the entire set of bikes is not active.
