It should, just as long as your fitting is the same there is n reason why it shouldn't, power pedals will be easier.

You may have to change the crank on the spin bike to suite the stages PM you have else you probably wont be able to fit on the stages crank arm.  It will work, but as Dexter says it would be easier to fit pedal based power meter.

Hi All thank you for your comments. Ok so pedal based is better. This is gonna cost me as I have the spin bike already. Was hoping for a cheaper solution. Should I rather consider a kicker snap ?? Will be using trainer road going forward.Thank you once again much appreciated

Having a Smart Trainer like the SNAP is a whole different world in terms of training, well worth it IMHO. If you can source an Gen 1 or 2 Kicker for a little bit extra it will also reduce allot of issues people have with Wheel-On trainers. These issues aren't game-breakers, just a little irritating to do spin-downs regularly.

Kicker snap is a much better option when using trainerroad.
