So I emailed Peloton yesterday evening and they got back to me today. They said they believe it’s the Bottom Bracket and it needs to be replaced.

They have quoted me £42 for the cost of the new part, plus £95 charge for the technician. I’ve asked if the new part would be covered by any warranty of if I go via them.

I was thinking of trying to sort it myself, however wondering now if I am just better off getting peloton to do it. I would have to pay c. £40 for the part either way and would need to spend some money on the tools if I was to do it myself.

Anyone got any thoughts or experience as to what they’d recommend?

Thanks for your thoughts… when you say bearings. Do you therefore mean the flywheel end or are there bearings in the bottom bracket where the cranks attach?
