Hi all..

Just wondering if there are any good suggestions to eliminate spiking with
this wheel..

It's seems to have a slight spike in the calibration routine.. Although
games seem to still play fine, Just wondering..

There is no spiking problem with this wheel. Either your pot is worn or the
game port is no good.

You'll have to clean the pots with some special cleaning-spray for
potenciometers. That'll do.

And don't use WD40 it conducts electricity slightly - use a special contact
cleaning. Thrustmaster UK suggested WD40 to me!!Paul

Radio Shack carries a product called Tuner Cleaner&Lubricant that does the
job nicely. A can of it will run you around 8.00, but it will last a long,
long time.

I was told that Radio Shack has two types of cleaners...and that the
lubricant type will destroy the pot?????????

Hmm, I didn't know this. When I was there, all they had was the cleaner and
lubricant. Anyone else know anything about this?
