Stages Ultegra R8100 Dual Power Meter Review

Following on from the successful test/review of the Stages Shimano DuraAce R9200 DUAL power meter, this video focuses on their Ultegra R8100 DUAL offering.

  1. I keep getting 53/47 or 54/46 L/R balance on a new Stages 8100. How do I verify the accuracy and/or rule out a firmware bug? Don’t have power meter pedals, but my Quarq is typically 50/50, 51/49, 49/51. Appreciate your help!

    1. Quarq power meters will only ever estimate L/R balance as they only measure power at a single point. You’ll need to get a set of power meter pedals (dual) and perform comparative testing.

  2. Hi mate

    I want to move to a 165mm crank. I am currently running Shimano 11 speed. Is the Shimano Ultegra 12 speed crankset compatible with the previous gen 11 speed front and rear derailleurs?

    Cheers

    Mathew
