Stages PM firmware update 05/26

If any of you have a Stages PM, today I opened the app to check battery level before a road trip and there was a firmware update available for it. A bit surprising since their financial issues and sale to Giant, and age of the PM itself, I certainly wasn’t expecting any more updates. No idea what is addressed by this update.

I got that too, and thought the same thing.

Here’s what I found. Funny an update after 5 years of nothing :person_shrugging:

Date: 04/28/26

Firmware Release #: v1.8.5

Replaces Release #: v1.8.2

Improvements:

  • Improved device wake-up reliability.

  • Added ANT+ connectivity configuration options.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed minor display formatting issue

Checked my road crank last night and no update, it’s at least 6 years old so maybe it’s a slow roll out.

I think that release note is for a Gen3 if that makes a difference.

It must be staggered as I have it now, not that it sounds like it’s a biggie!

Anybody see an update on the sb20?

My app got stuck at loading DFU or something like that. I exited the app and fortunately nothing was bricked.
