Compatible with All Generations of SC1, SC2 & SC3
The Stages Power Meter 971-0105 is compatible with all generations of Stages SC1, SC2, and SC3 indoor cycles. Because all three models share the same crank and bottom bracket interface, the power meter installs using the same mounting system throughout the SC-series platform.
This common architecture makes the power meter one of the most versatile replacement and upgrade components available for Stages indoor bikes.
SIC1 & SIC2 Display Console Compatibility
The Stages Power Meter 971-0105 is compatible with both SIC1 and SIC2 generation Stages display consoles. When properly paired, the power meter provides the rider performance data required for display console functionality.
This compatibility allows facilities to replace failed power meters while maintaining functionality with either display console generation.
Performance Metrics Displayed on SIC1 & SIC2 Consoles
When paired with a compatible Stages display console, the Stages Power Meter provides the data required to display key rider performance metrics, including:
- Current Power (Watts)
- Average Power (Watts)
- Current Cadence (RPM)
- Average Cadence (RPM)
- Speed
- Average Speed
- Calories Burned
- Calories Per Hour
- Distance
- Elapsed Ride Time
These metrics help riders track performance, monitor training intensity, and participate in structured power-based workouts.
When to Replace the Stages Power Meter
- Power or cadence data is no longer transmitting
- The power meter will not pair with the display console
- The ANT ID cannot be identified during pairing
- The battery compartment or sensor housing is damaged
- The left crank arm is worn, damaged, or loose
- Your bike is missing its original power meter assembly
- You want to add power and cadence measurement capability to an SC1 or SC2 indoor cycle
Battery Information
The Stages Power Meter is powered by (2) AA batteries located inside the battery compartment on the power meter assembly. Using quality alkaline or lithium AA batteries helps ensure reliable signal transmission and consistent performance.
Installation Notes
The Stages Power Meter installs as a complete left crank arm assembly and utilizes a self-extracting crank bolt design.
Before removing the Stages Power Meter, always remove the left pedal using a pedal wrench or 15mm wrench. Once the pedal has been removed, use an 8mm Allen key or preferably an 8mm Allen socket with ratchet drive to loosen the self-extracting crank bolt.
Continue loosening the crank bolt until the crank arm fully disengages from the spindle. The self-extracting mechanism will remove the crank arm as the bolt is loosened.
When installing the replacement power meter, verify the crank arm is fully seated on the spindle before tightening the crank bolt to the manufacturer's specification. After installation, pair the power meter to the SIC1 or SIC2 display console or another compatible Bluetooth or ANT+ device as needed.
If you are not familiar with crank arm replacement procedures, professional installation is recommended.
Why Power Measurement Matters
Power-based training provides objective performance feedback that riders and instructors can use to structure workouts, monitor progress, and measure training intensity. Unlike perceived effort alone, wattage provides a measurable benchmark that remains consistent from ride to ride.
This makes power measurement particularly valuable for indoor cycling studios, health clubs, universities, hospitality fitness centers, and riders focused on measurable improvement.

How do I replace a Stages Power Meter?
To replace your Stages Power Meter Crank Arm (which includes the entire left crank arm with integrated power meter), follow the step-by-step instructions below using the proper tools and supplies.
🔧 Tools & Supplies Needed
- 8mm Allen wrench or 8mm Allen socket with ratchet drive (recommended)
- Park Tool HPG-1 High Performance Grease
- Park Tool PW-4 Professional Pedal Wrench (or equivalent)
- Loctite 243 (blue threadlocker)
- TitanFlex heavy-duty nitrile gloves (or equivalent)
🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Wear Gloves
Put on nitrile gloves to keep grease and threadlocker off your skin. -
Remove the Pedal
Use a pedal wrench to remove the pedal from the existing crank arm.- Left pedal = reverse-threaded (turn clockwise to loosen)
-
Remove the Existing Crank Arm
Use an 8mm Allen wrench or socket with ratchet to turn the crank bolt counter-clockwise.- This is a self-extracting bolt — it will loosen and automatically remove the crank arm.
-
Clean the Spindle
Wipe the bottom bracket spindle's splines and internal threads clean using a dry cloth. -
Apply Grease and Threadlocker
Apply a thin coat of Park Tool HPG-1 grease to the spindle splines and a small drop of Loctite 243 to the internal threads of the spindle. -
Install the New Stages Power Meter Crank Arm
Slide the new crank arm onto the spindle so it is 180° opposite the right crank arm. -
Tighten the Crank Bolt
Thread the crank bolt in by hand, then firmly tighten with your 8mm wrench or ratchet. -
Reinstall the Pedal
Thread the pedal back into the new crank arm.- Left pedal = reverse-threaded (turn counter-clockwise to tighten)
-
Final Check
Ensure both crank arms are 180° apart, the crank spins smoothly, and all bolts are secure.
For the Stages bike frame, use a diluted solution of Simple Green at a ratio of 1:30 (1 part Simple Green to 30 parts water). Spray onto a microfiber cloth and wipe the entire frame including crank covers. Dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
Stages indoor bikes use only metric tools. Never use fractional tools. For a complete tool guide, email us at sales@indoorcyclepros.com and we’ll provide access to our Stages Bike Tool Kit.
Use a 13mm open end wrench or 13mm socket with ratchet to loosen each side of the saddle clamp, make your adjustment, then re-tighten evenly. Check out our Stages saddles collection.
Use a quality #0 Phillips screwdriver to remove the tiny screws on the battery cover of your Stages Power Meter. Replace the AA batteries, ensuring the correct +/− orientation. For a tighter fit, wrap a layer of electrical tape around each battery.
Find the 5-digit ANT ID on your Stages Power Meter. While pedaling, open the StagesPower app and check for a matching device. If no connection occurs, press the reset button for 3 seconds, try again, and replace AA batteries if needed.
