Peloton Threaded Leveling Feet Use Size M10-1.5 Size Bolts – “How do I replace a lost Peloton leveling foot?”

Leveling your Peloton is covered in many places – each Peloton has two (2) stabilizers, each of which has three (3) typical threaded leveling feet – for a total of six (6). [Click to watch a YouTube #shorts on Peloton leveling, or scroll to the bottom.]

Each of those 6 leveling feet use a metric size M10-1.5 based on ISO 262.

After a move we somehow lost one of the four exterior feet. The center feet are simple, they don’t have a locking nut. We took a center bolt-foot and moved it to the exterior. Then we went to Home Depot to find the right part.

I could not find any reference to the size of the bolt / threaded leveling foot / stabilizer pad / nut anywhere on line. It was not mentioned in the Peloton manual.

Many leveling feet show up on Amazon when searching for “Peloton Leveling Feet” or “Peloton Stabilizer Replacement” – however, I couldn’t confirm the size anywhere. The size is confirmed! The Peloton screw-in feet used on the stabilizers use a standard M10 1.5 size bolt and nut.

Questions:

  • What size bolt does a Peloton use on its feet?
  • How do I replace a lost Peloton foot?
  • Where can I buy a lost Peloton leveling foot?
  • How do I find out what size my lost Peloton leveling foot is?
  • Does Home Depot, Lowe’s or Target stock Peloton leveling feet?
  • Can I replace a Peloton leveling foot with parts from my hardware store? Yes! Using M10 – 1.5 sized parts.
  • Who sells Peloton replacement parts?
  • How do I know if the Peloton replacement part I ordered will work?
  • How long does it take for Peloton to ship a replacement part?
  • What do I do if I lose a Peloton part?

The Cliff’s Notes Guide to The Goal – but written by a guy named Fred

Written guide to Chapter 10

“The problem is that everybody—including me until now—has thought these robots have been a big productivity improvement.”

Goldratt is educating by the spiral – we saw Rogo realize the robots aren’t effective in Chapter 9, now in Chapter 10 we see a socratic-style debate with his team, where all the metrics indicate that the robots are hurting, not helping the plant.
