I'm looking to get a new wheel and was wonder what to get. It's between the
Logitech Momo wheel and the BDR Sim Pro. Pedals are not an issue because I
have a set of TSW pedals. Any comments?
Thanks,
Chris G

I can't comment on the Momo as I've never seen one, let alone used one.
The BRD Sim Pro however is another matter, and I don't think I'll ever
regret buying it, I had very briefly seen someones BRD pedals before buying,
so expected a better than usual build quality, but was not sure quite what
to expect, and had the usual post-ordering thoughts of "Oh my god I've spent
HOW MUCH on a wheel?" and awaited it's arrival with both anticipation & at
times, second thoughts.
Those "second thoughts" immediately disappeared very quickly when they
arrived & I opened the box, the build quality was incerdible, with not a
piece of plastic anywhere in sight (Other than the mounting plate, more on
that later), and not the usual thing you would expect from a PC peripheral,
in fact I thought, and still think, that the wheel & pedals are what I would
expect to see on a full, professional simulator designed for daily use and
abuse.
With the wheel the action is smooth, with the centering spring strong but
not over the top, quick opposite lock & corrections are a doddle, and in
both GPL & Nascar 2002 I found alot more confidence in quick response than
my previous wheels (Ferrari FF's). The one thing I did not like was the
plastic under-monitor mounting plate, the wheel does not come with a clamp,
but rather 3 oversized thumbscrews attach it to a baseplate that is supposed
to sit underneath your monitor. I found that this was insufficient as my
monitor is quite light & I'm heavy handed - also the baseplate 'lifts' the
wheel about 1.5cm of the desk, and as the wheel is angled at 35-40 degrees
or so this made the wheel uncomfortably high for me, also stability was an
issue, so I discarded the baseplate and drilled 3 holes in my desk and
screwed the wheel via the thumbscrews directly to my desk, now it's as solid
as a rock & at the right height for me.
Although your not interested in the the pedals, for the benefit of other
these show the same level of build quality as the wheel, with a different
range of movement for the accel & brake (Deeper, lighter on the accel, More
resistance & less travel on the brake) with the brake pedal having a
generous bump-rubber making progressive braking a piece of cake.
I heartily recommend that anyone considering a top-of-the-line non-FF wheel
to take a look at a BRD if possible.

I agree with Vennt's assessment of the BRD Sim wheel, I have a Sim Classic
BTW. Also I'd like to add that it is as well built on the inside as on the
outside. Yesterday I took mine apart to fit a USB wiring loom. The quality
of the internal components is as good as the external ones.
I've also bought a set of the Speed7 pedals. I haven't had much time to use
them yet but they are also an incredible piece of engineering. The build
quality is even better than the wheel.

There are also reviews of the wheel and pedals on my website.

It was your review & various comments on VROC that sold me on the wheel, the
word of mouth reputation that BRD have is quite strong.
Hopefully I'm going to try & use it to stay in front of you in one of the
RASCAR races *grin*
(Slim hope)

Indeed. You cant get even a decent wheel and pedal setup for less than
�220 from them really - and whilst they are very good - I CAN NOT see �200+
of engineering there I'm affraid.
The speed 7 pedals even more so.

hi Doug, don't wish to hassle you or anything but I am still waiting
for
the motherboard that you sold me more than a month ago now!
If you don't email me by Monday I can only assume u have ripped me off
and will be posting your address details, so nobody else will be
ripped off like I was.
