BRD v. TSW?

Anyone tried both? Which seem to be better? Thanks! Brook

My son has a TSW, and I recently tried the BRD in lieu of my ECCI CDS4000. Steering on the BRD is on par with the TSW and ECCI. New BRD Speed 7 pedals are far superior to either the TSW or ECCI. Email me if you would like more details. Bob G "Brook Halvorson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:PU9W7.5305$[email hidden]... > Anyone tried both?

I use the BRD steering wheel and pedals, although I've got the old style pedals with added clutch. The thing is robust and accurate. However, I'm not sure how long the pots would last...the TSW has a range with very high grade pots meaning that they'll be accurate and for longer. But then again, the BRDs are a lot more cost effective (last time I looked anyway!). -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu E-mail : ksmatharu # ieee . org [without the spaces and where #=@] Website: http://www.matharu.demon.co.uk/ "In the light universe I have been darkness..."

Well, looking at your posts, including your (Bob G) post from 12/21, it looks like BRD is the way to go. And comparable in price to the TSW. Those Speed7 pedals look specatular. I can't wait to try them after these crappy Logitech Wingman FF pedals. OK, thanks for the help! Brook Kulvinder Singh Matharu <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

What I didn't like about the BRD is that the monitor sits on the end of the steering column. If one has a large monitor this means you right on top of it. Very straining on long days of racing. TSW pedals are superior to the old BRD pedals. have not tried the new ones.

TSW pedals are superior to the >old BRD pedals. have not tried the new ones.[snip] I've got a 22inch monitor and I like the huge display right in font of me when racing...more of your vision is covered with the racing environment. I just wish it went 360 degrees! Actually, to be specific, when I'm racing the monitor is about 2 feet away from my face. It doesn't strain at all..in fact it's very comfortable and feels more "real". YMMV. I've not tried the TSW pedals so cannot compare except by looking at photos. I think the TSWs are brilliant (esp their high quality pots) but, last time I looked, the prices were way higher (that was with shipping IIRC). I guess it's time to have another look. -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu E-mail : ksmatharu # ieee . org [without the spaces and where #=@] Website: http://www.matharu.demon.co.uk/ "In the light universe I have been darkness..."

I think...BRD is Ball RAcing Development. They make higher end wheels and pedals. A British outfit I believe. There is a movie on one of the websites that shows some mystery pedals under development. Those are BRD. dave henrie "Gary Stephenson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Thanks for the info guys. I honestly have never heard of BRD before. Kulvinder Singh Matharu wrote:
