    Hey there! Thanks so much for your honest feedback, we really appreciate it! You're right - the disadvantage to felt pads is definitely the wear and tear. For those looking for minimal to no maintenance, we recommend checking out our magnetic resistance bikes! Since it’s a magnetic brake and its pad doesn’t touch the flywheel, you won’t have to worry about wear and tear, replacement, or any friction-generated noise.
    Thank you again for this awesome video and have a great weekend!

      Peloton Owner for almost 3 years. I just had a conversation with Support Leads yesterday. I am getting my SEVENTH bike in March - yes SEVENTH bike swap. They had to compensate me 39 months warranty for the cost of the 12 months warranty. I ended up getting 7 months of free subscription. I told them yesterday that if my account represents what is wrong with Peloton - then Peloton will fail and fail spectacularly. I don't own the Bike+ but I pulled the plug on that in October after having second thoughts. I feel your pain - trust me. I feel it.

    • @theodoreboosalis
      @theodoreboosalis 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They will have to assimilate the Precor purchase quickly to make up the ground they've lost in their disasterous rollout of the Bike+. There are so many options out there - the Stages SB Bike is now out and available to order - I'm looking at that one long-term. I don't think the Peloton bike can handle the volume I give it. It's really too bad because I would bleed the brand but really I'm the one bleeding on the opporrtunity cost of the purchase. I lost out on better opps. I can't even sell the bike I have now - something has happened wtih the frame after a year + where the seat and the handlebars are no longer straight - and ergonomically friendly. That means another bike swap.

    • @vvcc1450
      @vvcc1450 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Theodore Boosalis, thanks for your reply. I asked and got some credit for all the trouble, and I haven’t cancelled the bike yet, but definitely don’t have a good feeling about Peloton anymore. I am on a wait list for a concept 2 erg bike , and still looking around, Another option is a sunny bike.
      I started using the peloton app for running, and found that the classes, something I was excited about, well, for me personally it is a little annoying to have an instructor speaking non stop.... so that’s is a con
      Also, all the fuss and talk about Peloton, with owners raving about it like a miracle super bike, well, all of it in a way reminds me of MLMs companies such as LuLaRoe.
      And I honestly am having a hard time trusting this company will stay strong, it feels really messed up from how they are handling delivery schedule.

      @theodoreboosalis 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@vvcc1450 It is messed up. I've asked that my account's issues get moved "upstairs" as a discussion point about what needs to improve. Even if you discount the delivery times on an order right now - the bike doesn't hold up to the volume I've given it - since I've burned through 6 bikes. It's a great idea and brand - but yeah I think 2021 is going to be a choppy year for them if they can't get all of these issues reduced to a bare minimum. Since you were going to spend some serious money - take a look at the Keiser latest M3 or Stages SB: stagescycling.com/us/stagesbike/
      I will be looking at getting that bike later this year - once my Peloton warranty runs out (finally) and no more bike swaps can occur.

    I wish I had seen more videos like this prior to my purchase. I would have paid more attention to the flywheel weight and the available extension on the handlebars and saddle. My bike is good, but I feel I could do with just one more extension hole for my optimum riding position. But now it is up and running, I am making the most of it enjoying tapping in to the many free classes on TH-cam. If I do it again I’ll be much better informed!

    Since I've been digging deep into your videos, I've found a gently used Sunny B1002. The seller said it was "broken" but it just needs a new belt. Do you have maintenance videos for simple repairs like this? Have you replaced a belt using a correct sized serpentine belt? I'm about to see if a $10 belt is worth the headache I'm about to jump into. 😂

  • @elizabethf3022

    Thank you for this! Super helpful video. I have tried searching for bike comparisons for months trying to decide what to purchase but all I kept finding is comparisons of models with subscriptions, which I do not want. I'm grateful for your video showing several types of bikes I had been curious about. I purchased the Schwinn IC4 today and found your videos after, but your videos are helping me feel secure about this decision.
    I purchased a Joroto on Amazon a few months ago and the pedal and the crank stripped by the fourth ride and it become completely unusable. Their customer service was great, but the bike quality was terrible and I was so disappointed; I have since been afraid to take the plunge and try another option. These videos help! Thank you!

      in my opinion, after reading a ton of specs on several types of bikes, the Sunny bikes (I prefer the magnetic resistance and a monitor) would be the best option for that budget, but I splurged for the Schwinn IC4 due to their extra features (i.e. bluetooth) and for their better return policy and warranty.

    Here is a point about no electronics, this can be a huge plus and money saver..... Just think about it. Who doesn't have an Ipad, i would rather use my Ipad and use the exercise apps(including peloton), Or watch netflix, Xfinity Stream, Disney, Hulu, TH-cam, or any other Ipad/phone app. I think it is a little bit silly that the Mounted monitors on exercise bikes can not use Internet other than interactions with their apps. If peloton had 100 percent internet capability then maybe i would have bought Peloton(it is an awesome machine). This reminds me of blackberry ... They didn't want to use Apps on their platform and look what happen to them. What are your thoughts TailHappyTV ??

      @@TailHappyTV based on the Peloton videos the resistance is definitely on par so I would guess the energy output displayed is similar if not the same as on the Peloton and pretty accurate. 20 resistance on the Stryde feels like a flat road, and I definitely need 35-40 resistance for position 3 like the Peloton classes say to lift. The cadence is measured well so I think the energy output in kJ should match up between bikes and be accurate, hope this answers your question!

    I’m looking to buy a bike and have been watching your videos to help me decided. They are very helpful! What are your thoughts about friction vs. magnetic resistance? I used to take Spinning classes at the gym and those bikes were friction resistance (Spinning Star Trac bikes). But those bikes are too expensive. I have been researching about bikes a lot. I have never used a magnetic resistance bike and am weary of them because I read that they feel different. Such as a flat road is not resistance free and that max resistance is not as much as friction bikes. But then there is the “quiet factor” that makes magnetic bikes appealing. I was thinking of getting the Sunny SF-B1002 because of the price, but reviews often mention it’s not great of you are short (which I am - 5’3”) and handlebars are not 4-way adjustable. So now I am looking at the $600 Schwinn IC3 and Sunny SF-B1805. One is magnetic and one is friction. Do you have any thoughts? Any input would be helpful. Thank you!

    • @TailHappyTV
      @TailHappyTV  4 ปีที่แล้ว
