Are any of you guys finding the pedals of the MOMO awkward?
I have size 10 feet, which I think is pretty normal, but I'm finding
the angle I have to keep my foot at for the brake pedal is downright
painful after about half an hour.
I have no problems with the original LWFF pedals.

To try to rectify the problem, I've propped the rear of the base up
with a book. This gets my heel higher in relation to the brake pedal.

They are going to take a bit of getting used to...  But I think, overall, it
will be worth the effort.

I agree. I got mine last night too, awesome wheel! I've owned a number of
wheels, and this is the best one yet. It makes me glad my LWFF died a few
days ago :-)

I understand your left foot is getting tired, but what I don't see is
that you didn't have this problem with the old pedals, since the
position of your foot is exactly the same.. only now you have the
advantage the pedals adjust to the angle of your foot.
For me this is a big improvement, with the old pedals my feet allways
slided backwards after a while.

If you want comfortable pedals I can recommend the CH pedals. Two big
'platforms' where you can rest your feet in, very comfy to use for
those two hour races. Allthough I ditched the CH pedals for the new
momo pedals, I find them very comfy with the tilting pedals.

I was wondering the same thing, because I looked at my MOMO pedals, and my
LWFF pedals, and they appear to be identical as far as the layout goes.

They are. I even measured the height of the pedal, thinking the MOMO
must be higher or something, but it's not.
I guess it's the pivot. For whatever reason, it's painful to me but
the originals aren't. I usually play in just socks. I'm thinking I
just used my toe with the original LWFF, and the pivot makes that more
difficult.
