space is my biggest problem. I had looked at some high pedals that would
"plug-in" to the Momo but they still needed the originals for power
connection. Another problem is my Momo is constantly losing power so the FF
comes and goes, and lately its been more like gone. I'm sure it can be
fixed, but to be honset I have never been as thriled with the Momo has I
thought I should have. I love the ball bearing shaft setup, but something
about the wheel I just don't like.

I was told once (and they could have been talking out their ass) that it has
to do with the price matches guarantees all the stores have these days. If
CompUSA sells it for 79.99 - 40 instant rebate Best Buy won't price match it
at 39.99 because the actually price is 79.99.

I had the perfect chance to try this out awhile back, but I didn't think of
it until it was to late. Best Buy had Unreal 2 for 19.99 regular price.
CompUSA had it for 39.99 with an unadvertised 20 instant rebate. I should
have tried to get CompUSA to price match the 19.99 then went for the 20.00
instant rebate. Probably wouldn't have worked, but it would have been fun
watching them try and weasel out of it. lol

There's also probably some small print that says, "not usable with other
offers"...
I'll have to keep an eye out for things like that, though.

Hey Don,

I placed an order for the MSFF wheel from BCD about two weeks ago..The site
claimed it was in stock. Four days later, no reply from BCD. (and the only
update to my order status was "payment processed")
A couple calls later and I found out it was on backorder..
I wasn't real happy with their customer service or lack of info on the
backorder..
Maybe they have some now though, good luck to you.
I got an almost NIB unit on ebay for $40 shipped..I sure love this wheel..
Beats the ***out of my ancient TM Naspro

Good luck,

Baart

Well, I just checked my order status from their website, and all it says is
" not shipped".
I presume this means I won't get one from them, I did not receive an email
stating this either.
Guess I'll send them one asking them to cancel the order, and thank them for
the rotten customer support...
