Anyone have experience of the 2nd generation stages? Battery problems cured?
Looking for the cheapest option to go on a winter bike (Ultegra) - not pedals or hub based.
Cheers.

    why not pick up a cheap V1 ultegra 6700 crank £399 from merlin + quidco.

    if there are issues, stages are great and i would be suprised if you got a v2 upgrade if you have repeated problems.

    just mentioned it as you did say 'cheapest' option.

    Should have said cheaper not cheapest. Too many bad reports about V1 so wouldn't consider.

    now considering that 45% left is a 10% overall power reduction (output/reading) using the stages model (2xleft)...

    Just consider your power measured in £ rather € - makes FA difference.

    Except that zones aren't an exact science and have broad ranges anyway. To then worry about some balance drift is, frankly, a nonsense. There's not even any real science to the zone training either.

    I'd recommend P2M or quarq
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles
