For those of you looking at STAGES for a crank-based power meter solution you can now buy them online AND you can get 10% off with the Power Meter City code: the5krunner10.
Stages have held off from dealing through online channels for longer than most of their competitors. There are now selected online dealers offering them.
The 5KNOV 10% coupon code also works with STAGES accessories and indeed with most other non-Garmin power meter products on their site.
Prices start from: $529.99 less a discount of 10% = $476.99 +taxes and shipping, as appropriate
I’d definitely consider STAGES Power Meters as a single-sided crank PM option. Perhaps consider ROTOR for a dual sided crank PM solution especially if you use their Q-Rings and perhaps consider BePRO pedals for dual-sided or single-sided power pedals. The cheapest way into power is with the POWERPOD.
changing a single crank or a couple of pedals REALLY is EASY once you’ve done it a few times – super handy if you have more than one bike.
INFO: Stages Cycling specializes in left-side crankarm-based power meters. They offer models that fit nearly every crankset including road, track, MTB and downhill. Here are some highlights:
- $500-$650 range (most units)
- +/- 2.0% accuracy (industry norm)
- 20 grams added weight
- ANT+ and Bluetooth SMART compatible
- 200 hours of battery life

I tried adding your coupons for a Stages 5800 left crank. This is what I get:
Sorry, this coupon is not applicable to selected products.
Hi
this post is for a STAGES special from Feb 2017.
STAGES and GARMIN do NOT ROUTINELY allow anyone to discount.
However, if you leave a note when you order that you are a the5krunner reader then you will get a coupon for 10% that you can use in the PMC store.
I hope this helps. I’ve added a note to the post to confirm the offer closed a while back.
you can get 10% off most PM brands at power meter city with that code. thank you for your support.
