Recommended Settings - Golden Cheetah

This article is specifically for using the Golden Cheetah application with the Stages SB20 smart bike.

Stages Cycling app

If you are using the ride recording feature in the Stages Cycling app to view your gears while using Golden Cheetah, select the bike control widget and set the bike to External control.

However, if you are using the Data screen on the Stages Cycling app, there is no need to set a control mode.

Install Golden Cheetah

If you have not already, download the Golden Cheetah app.

Pairing

Plug in your USB ANT+ dongle to your computer and safely orient it near the front of the bike. It may be necessary to wake up the power meters by spinning the cranks several rotations.

Upon initial opening and setup of the application, a pop-up menu will allow you to pair to your StagesBike. If you are already a Golden Cheetah user, click on Train to add a device.

Select Add Device and pair via ANT+ and FE-C.

Your Stages SB20 will by default pair as Fitness Equipment Control (FEC), and the left power meter will pair as Power.  The application receives speed and cadence from the bike without pairing these sensors, so no ANT+ ID will be shown. 

Once the bike is paired, proceed to the Train tab and select your workout from the left sidebar.

To work out without a preset workout file, select either Manual Erg Mode or Manual Slope Mode. 

Use the Intensity Adjustments and Workout Control menu to begin, end, or alter your workout.
