more The Stages cycling app has recently become unpredictable with the SB20. Troubleshooting information online is helpful only up to a point. Tech support line only has a message that states no one is available. Has tech support for SB20s stopped? Curious minds with expensive Stages bikes would like to know. With all of the Apple watches and Apple TVs out there, please update the app to pick up apple watch heart rate and fix the bluetooth sensitivity issues the app apparently has.

For those that know, the qualities that the Stages app and Dash L200 offer makes cycling an improved experience in terms of maximizing performance. Want a metric to follow on your ride? Stages has you covered. Want perfect GOS turn to turn on your climb and descent? Yep. Want expert analytics for post ride and workout planning? Indeed. Honestly, this is just another level of experience when it comes to cycling tech. I’m sure that Tour riders get another level of tech, but as a mere mortal, this is as good as it gets.

It’s a bit cumbersome to get the format of how this works but my only real complaint is there seems to be no way to change the stock photo at the top of the workout where I might want a snapped photo from Zwift from that work out. Don’t really want to see someone I don’t know in a house I don’t know as part of my workout.

I only use this app for controlling my Stages SB20 smart bike. For the better part of a year this app was complete crap for that purpose - refusing to connect to bike, crashing, etc. But they’ve ironed out the problems now and for the past few months it’s been rock solid and works better than ever with the SB20.
