Broken Peloton Shoe Buckle And Finding A Replacement

Posted by on

One recent morning, I was getting my shoes on to try to sweat it out a little bit before work and as I tightened up my left shoe, I heard something snap and a little bit of plastic went flying.  I had snapped off the ratcheting buckle on my shoe.  In the photo at the top of this post, you'll see the now-naked Peloton shoe with the broken little ratchet piece.  

Below, you'll see the piece.  This is what came off of the shoe.  Turns out, it is all plastic.  


Below you'll see the piece in profile.  The circular part in the middle is what snapped off - the plastic part wraps around a metal cylinder.


The good news is that how they make these spin bike shoes these days, they're totally replaceable.  In that top photo, you'll notice a screw and if you loosen it up, the buckle just comes off.

**2022 update** - Thanks to a pointer from a commenter, here's an updated link to full replacement kits.  

So, off I went to figure out where I could get a replacement.  Peloton doesn't sell one.  I guess they want to sell more shoes?   But, u/Beemuzzler on the Peloton Subreddit posted that he had the exact scenario.  And he pointed to this listing for a 0.60" ratchet buckle on RachetingBuckles.com.  He even posted photos of how he added this replacement buckle to his Peloton shoes.  

**2022 update** M2inc now has a new category page with Peloton buckle replacement kits.  And, I went through and filled a cart with a full 2 buckle + belt kit.  I also tried it with just one buckle and one belt and it appears they've lifted the $20 minimum order.  For the kit (2 of each)....The shipping (for me, to Illinois) was $9.95.  Full screenshot of the shipping options offered (as of January 2022 show below).  So, you're around $32 out the door for a new pair of buckles. 

**/end 2022 update**

Woot, woot.  I had a plan.  Off I went to the site to order myself a buckle replacement.

But, wait a minute.



A $20 minimum.  That means that two of them won't make the order work.  But, I only have two feet, so three doesn't make sense, right?  Had to buy a ladder strap, too. Just $3, but it got me over the $20 minimum.

The buckles (and strap) are on their way.  When they get here, I'll swap one in and (hopefully) post the update (and hopeful success!).  For now, I'll just have to use one moderately tight shoe and not use that as an excuse for not getting sweaty.

    DON’t buy Peloton’s cycling shoes. If the buckle or ladder strap breaks outside of 30 days, they will not stand behind them nor do they have replacement parts or recommend anyone who sells them. Buy other more reliable shoes . I am an avid cyclist, and never had a problem with other brands. When I called them, Peloton actually told me they recommend you replace your shoes every 6 to 12 months. I don’t know a cyclist who does this. Very disappointing.

Lou Malnati's Salad Dressing Recipe as Published in the 60's

Posted by on

Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe.  The Tribune reporter called it "prized".  We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd.  I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs.  And they were dirt cheap.  The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces.  We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage...

Overwintering Disneyland Roses With Leaf Mulch - Floribunda Roses - December 2024

Posted by on

Yesterday, I posted photos of how I'm attempting to overwinter some Dahlia tubers in the ground and in a couple of those pics, you might have peeked at the chicken wire cages next to the piles of mulch on the dahlia tubers.  Those chicken wire cages are full of fallen leaves and are set on top of the three Disneyland Rose crowns along the southside of our house. See below for a couple of photos showing how I set up the ring of chicken wire and filled it with mulched-up leaves: These roses struggled this year, so here's hoping this little bit of extra Winter protection is going to help them get through the cold.
