The only drawback is that its harder to change the steeringpot and to do
homemade customisation otherwise same quality as TSW

BRD racing wheels?

TSW pedals are way better or should I say more comfortable to use. I also
have a BRD. The pedals can be repositioned to various angles however I found
them very uncomfortable. The steering is very good and precise in the BRD. I
do not like the way the monitor sits on the base of the wheel. If you have a
large monitor you are now right on top of it. Just MHO...

I just took a 2x4piece of wood and screwed it on the "footend" of the pedals
makes more room for the feets, for me the TSW pedals have a little bit
better resistance, but the BRD has longer "throw" so it evens out which one
is the best, both wheels are about equal i think the TSW will probably have
a slightly longer life because its easier to repair, but quality is about
the same for both, the pots on the BRD is far better than TSW standargrade
pots however

Yes I think that is the problem . "Big feets" I would need an extension to
get the full benefit of the pedals. Supposedly they have a high end ff wheel
in the works too (?)
