Yeah, I've had no problems with the wheel and it lines right up there next
to my Formula Force. Either one is a good buy.

I noticed a local retail chain is now stocking the Act Lab wheel here in NZ.
Whilst most people seemed to like it in initial posts, how is it holding up
a few months later -pots wearing out? pedals breaking?, or is it pretty
robust. Refering to non-force version in particular.

I've had one since last July.  It was doing great, no broken
bungees, everything was fine.  It did finally break a few
weeks ago, but only because of my three year old son always
*** on it while climbing onto the computer chair.  I've
got a new one now and I'm sure it will last for a long time
(I don't let him touch it anymore :)  ).

The ACT Labs wheels are very well made.  The pots do start
spiking rather quickly.  They don't wear out, they just get
dirty.  I keep a can of WD-40 nearby which fixes the problem.  
An electronics cleaner would probably be a better solution
than the WD-40, but I haven' tried that yet.
