If you are similar virtually Peloton members, yous may enjoy looking at and trying to amend upon your personal records. Overtime though, the metrics used for these records go more and more inaccurate. So in club to prevent that from happening, here is how to calibrate your Peloton bike.

Why calibrate your peloton cycle

Peloton calibrates bikes within its manufactory and claims that they typically hold a 10% standard for variation. The problem is, ten% is a quite a big difference, and that is before the cycle really leaves the factory.

The Peloton wheel's journey to your home can then consist of being moved in and out of several trucks from various companies. Given the frequency of stories around scratched, broken, and sometimes lost packages from XPO (a delivery company Peloton relies on) I think information technology is reasonable to presume some level of calibration is lost along the manner.

Notation: Peloton Bike+ take less to worry nearly here every bit they tin can be recalibrated easily and are usually done by deliverers upon arrival.

Even if your Peloton bike is perfectly calibrated, that will probable not exist the example overtime. Fifty-fifty the slightest shift in the magnet above the flywheel tin can change how a given resistance level feels.

Peloton calibration kits

Peloton used to include a calibration kit with the delivery of its bikes. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. And so in order to calibrate an original Peloton bike, y'all will need to call Peloton to social club 1.

These calibration kits do not come with instructions and Peloton has removed all of its previous instructions online. Luckily I have outlined all of the steps to calibrate your Peloton bicycle hither.

How to calibrate the Peloton Bike+

Calibrating a Peloton Bike+ is a very simple and very quick process. To do this, simply:

Tap 'Device Settings'
Then tap 'Home Calibration'
Await around 30-60 seconds for information technology to complete

Peloton Bike+ calibration takes less than one minute

That is it. In less than a infinitesimal your Peloton Wheel+ is now calibrated and good to get. It is so quick and easy that I personally do this every month to keep my metrics every bit accurate as possible.

How to calibrate an original Peloton Wheel

Unlike the Bike+, to calibrate the original Peloton bike takes a chip more try:

Start, call Peloton and order a calibration kit
Remove the water bottle holder and sweat guard using a Philips head screwdriver
Tap 'About' from the Peloton carte (three dots on lower right paw corner)
So tap the right hand corner of the 'About' popular up 10-20 times until you are taken to a screen maxim "Welcome to Sensor Calibration"
Follow the instructions on the screen to reset the minimum and maximum resistance
Move your resistance all the mode down. This will allow you to place the white calibration block under the magnet between it and the flywheel
Tighten the resistance knob until the white block is held firmly in place but loose enough that it can still exist removed
Remove the white scale block
Place both white scale disks onto the resistance knob. Rotate the opening of both white disks and then that they are lined upward and face the front end of the bike
Continue the calibration process on the screen, which will have you make 30 quarter rotations to the resistance knob. The white calibration disks volition help guide y'all to ensure yous rotate the knob the correct corporeality each time
Once finished you can get back to the Home Screen, and so plow off the bike, unplug information technology, and reinstall the sweat baby-sit/h2o canteen holder.
