I like the leaderboard as a way to interact with other members in class... but ya most people using the original Peloton bike (which are like 4 years old in tech at this point) have really badly calibrated bikes so you can't really compare scores unless two people both have some-what recently calibrated Bike+
After two years, it seemed like my output was lessening with the same cadence/resistance. As a test, during several classes, I compared my output to friends' (who agreed to help with my test) output and mine was 10 kJ less, on average. I performed a software factory reset and it is back to normal. Perhaps this will help someone having the same issue. It is worth noting that I have never performed a normal calibration because Peloton refuses to send me a calibration kit. They say that because my bike reads "0" resistance with the knob turned all the way to the left and it reads "100" with the knob turned all the way to the right, that it does not need to be calibrated.
i have the Bike plus. I still get the B0221 error. i JUST got this bike last month. I can't get a hold of Peloton and tech support hangs up on me when transferred. This is the reason I rented it. I planned on buying it after one year. I didn't have to take an inquiry on my credit for 25 months. Hopefully I can eventually get a hold of them. If not, I'll block my bank card from them.
I followed all the instructions but with the wedge, I was only able to twist the knob a quarter about 16 times rather than the 31x requires. Should I just calibrate without the wedge?
I'm wondering if this process has changed? The onscreen instructions say that the resistance knob should be all the way to the left when starting the 31 step process. It seems like the pieces for the dial are still needed, but that you no longer need to remove the bottle holder or place the other piece on the flywheel. Doing so would contradict the on screen instructions from the bike. Which way is correct?
Each time I finish twisting the resistance knob 31 times it never reaches “100 resistance” What am I doing wrong? Also, does it make a difference if the discs are facing the neck of the bike (I noticed you are holding on to them so they don’t fall) I’ve seen other videos where the discs are clicked into place but not facing the neck of the bike.
So I did this but didn’t have the white spacer and it now seems like my 50 is my old 40, it seems ten points “easier.” Do you think I should try to get that spacer?
Well that was easier than I had expected it would be. Question, how "firm" should the tension on the flywheel spacer be? (I did mine so it was pretty tight but could still easily be pulled out). And, what do you do if the nut that the bottom spacer for the knob doesn't allow you to have the two spacers facing perfectly straight? (mine had to be pointed to just shy of 1 o'clock)
Experienced losing calibration while changing resistance during ride. Any help? I go from 45 to 75 on and off during the ride and recently after the second switch the resistance feels heavy on both 45 and 75. I have the Bike + and have used the calibration option several times. Any help?
Does anyone know how to order a calibration kit from peleton? Bought ours 12 months ago and power output seems way too low vs the concept 2 BikeERG I sometimes use at the gym.
Yeah it's too old, the method by which they tell you to get to the calibration screen doesn't work anymore. You have to hit the power off button and then troubleshooting and go from there.
The fact peloton lets their bikes out with 10% margin is bullshit and speaks volumes about their crap quality. After 6 months of riding our flywheel smacks the resistance magnets.
For Peloton Bike+ skip to @2:28
For Peloton Bike skip to @3:04
You're welcome.
Why did he have to go on and on and on for 3 minutes?
Exactly. Annoying
Thank you🎉😂
I appreciated the context and history for one 🤷🏻♂️
Calibration check.
Before you bother with recalibration check first.
Set resistance to 45
Pedal at 100 rpm
205-220 watts is in spec
my output is 24 watts 😂
No wonder I’m always at the bottom of the class sweating my butt off😅
Damn I don't even think I can get to 100 rpm at 45......it's tough at 37. I need the kit!
I can't even hit 100 rpm at 45... I've had the resistance way harder for years 😂
Best comment in the thread. Thank you!
I calibrated my bike a couple weeks ago. Peloton shared a link to a video with instructions on how to calibrate the bike.
Bro get on with it
I ordered a kit from peloton and they very helpful. They even sent me the video which is very helpful.
This video just confirms why the leaderboard is just about useless.

Wow
I did max ranges per instructor this morning and had a 183 output, leader had 981 ! Néed I say more ….

How do I calibrate without a subscription? I can't get to the "about" screen 😢

I have the same issue , anyone know what I am
Doing wrong?

I had the same question. I followed the video, and I placed the piece on the flywheel

The calibration screen doesn’t come up when I follow the directions…has the way to access the calibration on the original bike changed?
ok mine is doing the same thing and I cannot figure out why!
@@sarahfugate9793 I turned off my bike, unplugged it, and tried again. It worked!
@@samevans1681 I've turned my bike off, and unplugged it also and no luck! ugh!
So I did this but didn’t have the white spacer and it now seems like my 50 is my old 40, it seems ten points “easier.” Do you think I should try to get that spacer?
Bro you went the extrmile for sure. Thank you so much.
Glad I have the plus lol.
Does this calibrate cadence too or just resistance? Thank you!
I don’t believe this calibrates cadence… not sure cadence sensors would ever need to be calibrated.
No longer works on original Peloton with new interface update. Any idea where the calibration menu is now?
Its in the same place. Don't click on the 3 dots on the top right...look bottom right. I thought the same thing.
Well that was easier than I had expected it would be.
Question, how "firm" should the tension on the flywheel spacer be? (I did mine so it was pretty tight but could still easily be pulled out).

How/where do you contact Peloton for the calibration tool set?
Call their customer support line. The kit costs about $27.
Ironically Peloton told me about this, offered me the kit and sent me the instructions. Just an FYI, mileage may vary.

Mine does the same thing but the resistance feels like 40 not matter what when I go above it.
Does anyone know how to order a calibration kit from peleton? Bought ours 12 months ago and power output seems way too low vs the concept 2 BikeERG I sometimes use at the gym.
You have to call them and order one it’s $15.
@@ohaiberenice111109 - I ordered one a week ago. They sent it to me for free.
can we calibrate without calibration kit?
No
The Peloton Calibration video is right here: th-cam.com/video/jBsToANlpto/w-d-xo.html and it's been there for 2+years...
Yeah it's too old, the method by which they tell you to get to the calibration screen doesn't work anymore. You have to hit the power off button and then troubleshooting and go from there.
thanks
happy to help!
How dare you question XPO Logistics!! 😂

Cut to the chase bro!
220watts is WAY above most normal people’s threshold
All you did was copy the original peloton video lol
I use a Concept2 rower to the cycling workouts (HIIT/PZ/Bootcamp) - way better and CHEAPER. Rowing is way better than anything else in cardio.
So why are you here?
Get to the point
