Reviews over the
Stages Ultegra 6800 Gen 2
4 / 5
Simple set up and installation - pricy still
4 / 5
Easy installation but with some drops in sync
Stages power meter is easy to install and easy to calibrate pre-ride. Contains no moving parts so expect it to last as long as the bike itself. It measures only the left side drivetrain, which means only the power you apply with your left leg. It uses math to extrapolate power applied by both legs. It also doubles as a cadence meter thanks to the internal accelerometer. It was simple to sync the stages power meter with a Garmin Fenix 2 and a Garmin Edge 800. Biggest issue resides with drops in communication. I ride with Garmin Edge 800 installed in the out-front mount and when analysing the saved activity, it shows lack of data, both power and cadence, during several seconds, occurring more than 10x in a 1h30 bike ride. I was sort of expecting this issue having done some previous research before purchase. Will try using the garmin edge 800 in a handlebar mount to see if by being closer to the stages power meter it doesn’t lose the signal so many times.
Pros & Cons

Does exactly what it says on the tin
Very easy to install both on the bike and with my Garmin 520. No issues with calibrating with the stages app on the iphone pre ride. Just make sure the firmware is always up to date on both stages and garmin ti keep the connection running smoothly. Haven't tested it in the wet so can't comment on the waterproofing, but seems better quality when comparing to friends first gen stages.

Opens up a whole new world!
New to the power meter, so not a lot I can say as yet... Work in progress. Lots of data, little knowledge! Understanding how to use it, and Taylor my training towards this new information.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Easy to install and consistent performance so far
Great performance, especially for the price. Obviously only gice power estimate based on one leg, but works for me, oh and the Team Sky boys so can't be too bad.
