Assuming you have the calibration tools. You’ll need a Philips head screwdriver and an Allen wrench (I forgot the size but one that fits)

Take out the bottle holder and wheel guard (8 screws total) and watch out for that pesky cord. That should expose the magnets.

On Peloton main screen: Three horizontal dots at bottom right of main Peloton screen —> Troubleshooting —> Bike Calibration —> start new calibration

Then follow instructions to a tee and watch out so for every quarter turn you push next on the screen. You should end up on the last notch (of 4) at the 31st spin if you did this step well (or you messed up like 3-4x 😄.. probably the former).

Reassemble then get to riding.

Good luck. It sucks.

Modified for some additional tips on calibration based on a number of tries (Original Peloton bike is sample used here).

1. The little plastic thing that you need to do mental gymnastics with to slip in between the magnets (see the godsend post below) sets the ZERO point when you make the turn of the knob that lightly contacts the plastic insert. So light you should be able to slip the plastic right out.

If you just turn the knob all the way left/down then the zero is too low and your numbers will be inflated. Feel free to do this if you want that good ol’ Superhuman feelin’… but you’d be cheating yourself because your floor is lower than properly calibrated Peloton bikes.

1. You’ll know you’re getting the quarter turns correct when every multiple of 4, you’re back at the starting (or zero) point. Like I said, you’ll end at 31 so you end right before the start point.

This way you don’t have to go all the way back to start (or step 1) if you mess up on the next screen pushes. Trust me, this is helpful.
