  2. From the list of Stages devices, select the StagesBike SB20.

Record a Ride

To record an indoor ride on your SB20, first connect the bike under the devices menu, then tap on the Ride icon on the lower menu of the Stages Cycling app. Tap the green play icon to begin recording. 


Whenever you have a Stages Bike paired with the app, the StagesBike control widget appears on the ride screen. Tap the control widget to choose a mode. 



Select from the following control modes: 

  • External mode (disconnected link icon) does not control the bike's resistance. Use this mode if you have a secondary app connected to the bike to control the resistance, but are using the Stages Cycling app to record or view your gears. 
  • % Grade/Sim mode (mountain icon) sets the resistance based on a defined incline, such as a percentage grade up or down a hill. This mode simulates outdoor riding conditions. Your gears will still work as usual to adjust your pace to the virtual climb (or descent),
  • Target power/Erg mode (lightning bolt icon) sets the power to a predefined target, such as 200w. The resistance will adjust to your changes in cadence to keep a steady power output.

If you select % Grade or Target power mode, use the widget to set your resistance target using the +/- buttons or the zone slider (for power targets only). 


In % Grade mode, you can also see your current gear reflected on the screen. Gear is not displayed on target power mode since the resistance is set to bring you to a power target regardless of the gear selected. 


Erg workouts

Select a workout from the workouts tab to complete a workout in Workout Power mode. The app will automatically adjust the bike's target resistance based on the power prescribed in the selected workout. You can turn this mode off at any time if you prefer to use the bike's shifting controls to adjust the resistance.


Save your ride

After finishing your ride, tap the stop button.  You can upload your ride to the Stages Cloud and any other connected third-party applications. To add more connections, tap on Profile > Connections.
