    The Peloton team delivered the Peloton Bike Plus which was mostly assembled upon arrival, they basically just needed to bolt the screen on, and while the delivery process was 99% perfect and the delivery crew was great, I did find one fairly serious hazard with my Peloton bike+ that i'll show you in just a moment, and there was another minor peloton bike problem we had to clear up after the team had already walked out the door.
    They handed me the accessories that come with the Peloton Bike Plus along with the accessories we ordered with the bike. We ordered a pair of Peloton shoes with the delta style cleat that clips into the peloton pedals, along with a pair of 3 pound weights. The bike comes with a tool bag to make adjustments to the pedals and anything else you may need to do adjust, and also a user manual is included with the bike.The Peloton bike delivery team walked me through the setup process which was simple and took only a handful of minutes or so. We needed to select our Wifi network and punch in the password, and then enter a name for the bike. Next we connected the bike to our Peloton bike account, which we had already set up prior to their arrival. If you're getting a Peloton bike plus and you haven't set up your account yet you may want to do this ahead of time so you can have your login information for your Peloton account and your wifi password ready to roll to make the set up process quick and streamlined.The team showed me around the peloton bike plus and the major features of the bike and warned me that the flywheel can get hot from the magnetic resistance, so you shouldn't touch it.They also showed me around the software interface and a basic run down on how to use the Peloton Bike plus.The deliver team did a great job and on the way out the door they informed me they could't remove the packaging material and box because of everything that's going on right now, which I should point out they did wear a mask and gloves for the entire duration of setting up the Peloton bike plus.The peloton delivery process was perfect so far, but then I got a phone call from they forgot one important step. It wasn't until after the delivery team already left I noticed the potentially hazardous issue with the pedals on the peloton bike+ First and foremost, imagine the disaster that could occur if you were riding hard out of the saddle in a peloton class and all of a sudden the pedal completely fell off because it wasn't screwed in all the way and tightened up properly. Additionally, I wonder if the threads on the peloton bike crank arm could potentially get damaged my the pedals itself from not sitting flat and force getting applied to the threads in a way not intended. If the threads on the right crank arm were to get damaged it seems like it would be a big problem because for some reason it appears the right crank arm is welded onto the bike, so you cannot simply take the bolt off of the crank arm and remove it and replace it with a new crank arm in case you need to. I've never seen a bike with the crank arm welded personally, I wonder why the bike is designed this way.Anyway, I just got the wrench out of the tool bag and tightened up the peloton pedals so they didn't wobble any more and eliminate this peloton bike problem. I was also surprised to see there didn't appear to be any grease on the threads of the pedals, from everything i've seen online you're supposed to put grease on the pedal threads before putting them on the crank arm to prevent the threads from seizing and getting stuck on really right or permanently. I have to admit I'm guilty of sometimes skipping this step myself, however when buying a new peloton bike for over $2000 it's a step I wouldn't expect to be overlooked.The delivery process for the Peloton bike plus was very pleasant and the team did a great job delivering the bike. There were no major peloton bike problems. It was originally scheduled to arrive at 4pm, but the team actually contacted us that morning and said they could bring it a few hours early if it worked for us. This worked perfectly since I was at home and we agreed to them arriving in 20 minutes.So far our Peloton bike plus experience has been great, and I have more videos coming soon. If you're on the fence about deciding to get a Peloton bike or to get a cheaper alternative indoor cycling bike to get a peloton experience at a cheaper cost, you're not going to want to miss my next video, so be sure to subscribe and click the notification bell if you want to see my next video.If you have any questions or comments about the peloton bike problem please leave them in the comment section below and I'll be sure to get back to you. If there is anything in particular you'd like to see on the new peloton bike plus please let me know and i'll try my best to either answer your question in the comments or make an entire video on the topic.

    Two tips for everyone - the LEFT crank is REVERSE threaded. So the right crank is Leftie Loosie' and Righty Tighty - the conventional way. The non-drive side ( left crank) is the complete opposite. Go easy on the grease. A little copper slip will help prevent future seizing but applying too much will result in over torquing' your pedals beyond their design.

    You mentioned lubricating the thread on the pedals....BUT actually it would make more sense to use a loctite Threat sealant to help prevent the pedals from coming off and help prevent or tolerate the vibration inherently going to occur with pedaling....and also the sealant would prevent it from coming undone unless you actively "want" it to come off with wrench to take it off. A lubricant on the areas that actually allow for pedal spinning makes sense though....Can you or anyone provide a reason the. lubrication would make more sense or at the very least an Anti-Seize compound more so than lubrication but same thing arises that is the part that should be lock on sturdy and tight until you actively want to loosen it or remove that specific part .....Oh and if you do use the loctite rubber-like compound, it is like only a tiny amount (a dab on both sides of the threads) and not coating all the threads entirely this will occur naturally once you thread it in. AND, once you wrench it off, this compound should come off as well just use a stiff bristle to remove on both attachment threads and receiving part and apply again if reattaching again for maintenance or putting on new pedal attachments. This goes without saying i would think BUT be sure to wipe any excess which should be none really but just in case for those not use to using. (same usually goes for lubricants, oils, sealants and anti-sieze compounds). Some areas do require a lubricants, or a grease, or an anti-seize, or an oil, but that location is definitely NOT one of the locations you want an oil or lubricant, or grease base substance. Maybe an anti-seize compound but that is again not a lubricant. OH BTW, GREAT VIDEO.....lots of needed info that was good to know and be aware of as well.

They are on a big-time watch list now. I still don't have a working bike - and it's been over 3 years. Don't buy this bike. Sell them now- get rid of it - and move on with your army of other bikes - Keiser is just fine. My NINTH Bike Swap comes tomorrow (May 4th). Last 3 swaps are all bad frames. It's terrible stuff. Stock is sinking. Best to get off now.

    I am not a fan of their pedals. I've owned a Peloton v2 Bike for almost 3 years. My ROI was achieved quickly - but I am not happy with their lack of quality under the covers. I may upgrade once my warranty runs out - which was compensated to me (2 years additional) since I had so many bike swaps (6). Just had the drive train maintenance done (new bearings kit) and given the newest tablet for the v2 bike. I have all of my maintenance documented from Peloton for anyone who needs to validate my comments. Get different pedals. When I do upgrade to whatever solution I want - I will mod my v2 bike and keep it.

      @@TailHappyTV I have a pair of the standard Schwinn Indoor spin pedals for both Look Delta and SPD and I use the SPD side - they work great. However - I am looking to get the FAVERO Assoima Duo Side Pedal Based Power Meter. I want to measure the effectiveness of the V2 Bike's Power Meter versus the top of the line industry favorite - and then see if I need to convert over to that instead (most likely the answer is yes). I think any pedals outside of Peloton are a good idea. I've had a pedal break on me within 3K miles (I believe).

      @@TailHappyTV BTW - I was told by the technical leads at Peloton the new Bike+ doesn't have the bearings issue as the v2 bike. So I wouldn't worry too much about the lifespan of the bearings. I'm researching Stages SB2 - I think once my warranty runs out I will go with that bike instead. I can then use it across any biking application and move the Peloton solution to a hybrid bootcamp modification.

    • @TailHappyTV
      @TailHappyTV  Год назад

      That’s a great question and I really can’t answer that for you. My best guess would be to take your own measurement and then add on whatever the distance from the floor to the top of the pedal stroke would be. I would think that would be about the maximum height you would ever reach. If I had to ballpark what that measurement would be, I’d say the top of the pedal stroke is maybe 1 foot off the ground, but you should definitely fact check that. I hope this helps.

    • @TailHappyTV
      @TailHappyTV  Год назад

      Actually, the crank arms are about 6.6 inches so multiply that by two and that’s around 13 inches from top to bottom of the pedal stroke, then add on, however many inches from the floor the bottom of the pedal stroke would be, so maybe 17 inches plus your height?

    • @TailHappyTV
      @TailHappyTV  Год назад

      However, when you’re at the top of the pedal stroke, it’s not like you’re standing fully extended, so…. I don’t know I think I drink too much coffee.😆

    Hey . . . any chance you could do these 2 measurements today? I'm dying to know if it will fit in my Jeep if I have to go that route. I've also been reading on the Peloton forum & the Peloton Reddit forum, about all the different problems people are having with the new Bike Plus. Wondering what the ratio of bad bikes to good bikes is.
    Hi, I'm trying to see, if the delivery truck can't make it up my road (I live in the mountains on a private road) if I'll be able to fit the bike+ (with the screen removed) in the back of my Jeep Wrangler (back seat removed). With the handlebars lowered as far down as they will go, could you measure from the top of the arm that the screen mounts to, to the floor and tell me what the height is? and from the top of the screen mount arm to the back of the bike, what the length is? I'm assuming I can't just remove the handlebars by loosening the knob and lifting out, because of the wires that are now inside? Thanks for any help / info.

    • @TailHappyTV
      @TailHappyTV  3 года назад

      Floor to top of screen mount is either 41.5 inches or 45 inches depending on where the screen detaches, handlebars all the way down. From back of bike bottom to front of screen arm is 52 inches.

    Totally unacceptable. I’m assuming that when you sign for delivery you are waiving any liabilities towards Peloton in case you get hurt from them assembling your bike? I have heard about all kinds of problems associated with the bike+ from the pedals to the screen being dead. And it doesn’t help that Pelotons customer service sucks. I just got my regular bike last week and was considering upgrading but I’m not so sure if I really want to do that.

    • @TailHappyTV
      @TailHappyTV  3 года назад

      That's the same thing I was thinking Brian, I would think no one would check to see if the pedals are tightened up. I know I didn't I just happened to notice it by luck. I don't recall signing any paperwork for the delivery, but Sabrina may have at some point. I was anxious to see how the delivery process went after hearing all the rumors, but so far so good besides what i mentioned in the video. Luckily we haven't had any need for customer service yet, but if we do i'll share the details. Happy riding Brian!

      My delivery was totally great and it was by JB Hunt although the email said it would be by Peloton. Anyways I had to return my wifes shoes. I tried the online chat and got kicked off twice. The third time I was number 174 in que and it took just over an hour for a rep to come on. He tells me he will email me a return label and then of course never did.
      On top of that the people at the store local to us were not very helpful when we went in to check out the bike in person before our delivery. But whatever. We’re happy with the bike! 😃
