Most Realistic Racing Simulator Pedals - Sim Pedals by MPPC - @Barnacules

[@frederikzarghetta2438]

when your pedals and brackets cost more than a miata

[@sniperassasin1264]

Literally. You can buy a real fucking car for the price of these.

[@KinoAnniversary2024]

send me to the place where miata are so fucking cheap

[@pmm4177]

Fredzar a combo at McDonald's cost more than an mx-5... lol

[@imnota]

That sucks, here a miata just in running condition with rust and fucked up soft top, it's pretty much 4k euros and 6k for a clean one.

[@simkarte123]

where do you live? I can find ones that are decent for around 2k-3k€

[@TacticalCardboard]

In recent months the MX5 became tons easier to drive in iRacing. I'd put more on that being the difference, not the pedals. It's a night and day difference, and if you haven't played in months - there you go. It now drives like something resembling a car, not a shopping cart crossbred with a skateboard. Also, you can easily set the Fanatec brake to remove all the movement before it gets on the load cell... Pretty basic setup thing, not sure how it's their fault if you don't do it. Believe me, hardware makes minor difference at best.

[@TacticalCardboard]

***** Yes, change the hole the peg that holds the piece the bar slots into. If you move it up it's more direct. I went one slot up on my V1s and absolutely loved it.

[@rfouR_4]

Empty Box I came here to say just this. Didn't expect to see you on Barnacules's comments Empty Box. Did a bit of a double take. :p

[@ruemorg7]

Rene Hourian haha yeah me too! Funny stuff. I have crappy G27 pedals unmodded and I have managed pole in the quali results this week (Global Challenge Fixed) in Div1 so I would also say that hardware isnt a major game changer too. I know the competition in this series isnt all that but the top guys are all pretty quick drivers 6000+ irating for some.

[@TacticalCardboard]

Rene Hourian With the way the iRacing thread for this video was going, decided I should probably give it a watch and see what was said. I dunno, I'm not a huge fan of complaining about what was said without giving any meaningful input to those who probably don't know as much about the hobby as some of us do! Probably changes nothing, but it is what it is. :)

[@rfouR_4]

Empty Box Yeah I hate being "that guy" but sometimes it is necessary to throw some information out there so people can hear it from the perspective of someone who is more knowledgeable about a specific topic.

[@CarCrazy2622]

I'm not a fan of that much flex to say how much they cost

[@VoidSixx]

That is accurate to how a real car is.

[@CarCrazy2622]

AirCommando12 cars don't flex

[@VoidSixx]

Callum Suttle Yes they do. They flex quite a bit actually. That's one of the reasons you add a roll cage, and it's also one of the reasons some cars like the R34 GTR have a strut across the engine bay. Have you never heard somebody talk about body rigidity?

[@vibezhd4341]

The reason to why cars have a strut brace is to keep the front end of the car twisting. Hence why the brace goes from suspension post to post because that is where most of the turning force is coming from. The roll cage however would help withe the A-B posts of the car itself and somewhat the peddle flexing. Car peddles don't have half as much as shown in this video, but there is some there.

[@yeetskeetledeet8184]

Kyle Harrison look at what pedals are mounted to on a car. it makes sense that they would flex as much as these sim pedals do.

[@videogames]

Great review on the Led Lights. I bought two packs. I really was looking for those thank you!

[@brandonr.5318]

$1500 for just the pedals? I'll go buy a $500 car off of Craigslist and hook the pedals up to potentiometers and shorten The brake lines before I buy this... jesus

[@beefgaming23]

Jeeze Barnacules, I'm not even interested in racing sims but I am simply mesmerized by how your videos are put together, well done man!

[@bobcook599]

MPPC stopped producing these pedals because of Wilwood MC issues. They had a huge failure rate with the first batch of pedals produced, with the MC leaking. Wilwood addressed the issue, and the failure rate was much lower with the second pedal batch. MPPC (to their great credit) will still honor the warranty on these pedals should you have a set, or purchase a set used. The MC on my set actually failed three times due to leakage...which was absolutely not MPPC's fault. After the third repair, I didn't mount them, so I'll be using them as a backup for the current set of pedals which I have installed. The design of these pedals is excellent. Hopefully Wilwood has the MC leakage issue resolved (a bit scary when you think that a similar MC might be mounted on a street/race car...

[@tigerfan525]

Would you be willing to sell yours if you aren't using them?

[@konnichy]

The wheel you should definitely review in my opinion is the AccuForce Pro by SimXperience. Every single product coming from this company looks so awesome!

[@CubejamF1]

Ita worth noting that however much he bashes on the Fanatec Clubsport pedals... they are still top of the line pedals. And they are certainly more affordable, despite their pricing when compared to aomethung like this. Its like trying to conpare a porsche to a mazda.

[@diablothe2nd]

I have the clubsport V2 pedals with a hydraulic cylinder (full clubsport set too with base, two wheels, shifter), they're definitely a massive step up from the G27 and even T500 pedals, but it does take some playing and messing around with both the sensor adjustment next to the pedal and the in-sim controls to get the pressure graphs close to a real brake pedal. These pedals do look good, if i had a grand spare i'd consider it over my V2's. That flex i'm worried about though. it might become permanently bent and then you'd be unable to slide the pedals side to side.

[@KevRunsOnDunkin]

Finally another sim video. Ive been waiting and also for a video in which you get something like this. Good ole Barnacules!

[@WA-ge3vz]

I think you just demonstrated how talking on the phone while driving can be very dangerous. Your brain starts thinking more about one thing and it diverts thinking power away from the other.

[@Barnacules]

This is very true! Especially on a race track where reaction times have to be much quicker it's way more apparent.

[@imchris5000]

man this video got me thinking I need to get in the peddle building business they have amazing margins for the material cost

[@Barnacules]

They stopped making these because they were too expensive and people were not buying them and the margin sucked because of the real race car parts they used on them. So, learn from that company and don't get in the pedal business unless you can make a better than 50% margin!

[@damianobrien2058]

​@@Barnacules can you do a new one pleaaaase? (and yeah that was a desperate please 😂) im looking to get into sim racing and theres alot out there and trying to figure it out is really difficult with steering wheel and pedals and i trust your judgement

[@11jbe]

Hey Barnacules, love the video and new pedals, and I just wanted to say it is really nice to see you interacting with you subs and responding to comments. Keep up the great vids :)

[@Barnacules]

Thanks man, I try to interact as much as possible sometimes I get so busy I can't respond as much.

[@MazdaBass971]

Now, why the hell did they send you 1,400 bucks of hardware? So much for your no handouts rule.

[@Barnacules]

No handouts rule? What are you talking about?

[@MazdaBass971]

You said in your video you made about you being laid off from Microsoft, you said you won't accept any hand outs, that's not who you are.

[@Barnacules]

MazdaBass971 Since you don't know what a handout is I'll give you the definition - "something given free to a needy person or organization". This pedal set was sent to me to review by Main Performance PC because they wanted my opinion on them and like my video style. That's not called a handout, that is called a job! I work for everything I have! Saying this is a handout is like saying that the check you get from your employer is a handout even though you did something to earn it. I hope this is just a misunderstanding on your part.

[@TheChrisglasgow]

It aint a hand out it's called a product review buddy, Have u never went onto youtube to get a product review before u dropped a ton of money ??? I do it all the time.

[@jasontwichell6339]

MazdaBass971 this is a mutually beneficial arrangement. When was the last time you saw a 26minute commercial for race sim brakes? They're just trying to reach their target audience, Barnacules is a means to that end.

[@hugh7641]

Wow I remember when this channel hit 100k subscribers and now its 260k and growing. Congrats man.

[@yankovMuskula]

learn the heel toe technique !

[@bishopknight-sm]

Well, you've sold me on these pedals. I'm working on building a rig over the next couple of years and I think these will be the first pro-part I throw in. I plan on building the rig myself and not buying one so the flexing of the support rails, I think, can be fixed by buying more mounting brackets and installing them between each pedal. Then build stronger supports for them to attach to.

[@StasisTV]

These pedals are better then the ones in my parents car

[@matthewbradshaw8017]

On a mountain bike you can get cable or hydraulic disks and it is exactly like jerry said with load cell pedals and hydros. There a such a difference in terms of modulation.

[@oceanislereefing3637]

First off I love you Jerry but when you review sim stuff i cringe. I am a daily sim racer with decent stats. It kills me that you get stuff just sent to you. I follow you on iracing and you never race. You have top of the line stuff that collects dust. For as much as you race you should consider these new pedals as a giveaway to a fan. A hard core racer will benefit from them more than you. The pedals you had are also great. I run the Fanatec pedals and they are great and have a "real feel". As far as a new wheel yours is fine for the amount of time you put into racing. Once again i love your stuff Jerry. it's just your lack of knowledge in iRacing and sim racing that nulls this review.

[@Barnacules]

The judgmental internet is judgmental.

[@Wildmilly]

He is right, it's pretty obvious you have an extreme lack of knowlege with sim racing but speak as if you actually know something about it. Very cringy indeed

[@sgtdaye]

Stop it lol. Dude is reviewing $900+ pedals and he hasn't played the game in "months"(HIS words). It may sound like hate, but I've never watched one of his(OP) videos, but I can tell that what Tony is saying is probably true.

[@sgtdaye]

Nah man, its a little more than that. He never said HE deserves the pedals, just that maybe a fan(which DEFINITELY includes you, lmfao) or a much more hardcore simmer than himself could, and probably would get more use out of them. Don't show your ass by calling anyone a "snowflake". "Jerry" has stated MULTIPLE times he hasn't raced in months. I don't give a flying fuck how many peons like yourself follow "Jerry". It doesnt make him a good simmer, or even a good driver for that matter. TheSLAPTrain has well over 1 million followers. That doesnt make him any less annoying than people who follow "the following". Out of curiousity, when you get Jerry's balls out of your mouth, tell me when the last time he made a "Sim" video was? Or better yet, a racing SIM video? .....don't worry, I'll wait. Don't ignore logic. What he said was logical. It makes sense. MUCH more than calling someone a snowflake just cause you don't have shit to backup the dumb things you decide to defend or say. I for one am jealous he got those pedals. As is ANYONE else who is into racing sims, and not willing to spend that kind of money on pedals.

[@bongan]

I get that you don't see him fit to do a review based on his knowledge. But to say he should give his pedals away just because someone else would appreciate them more is just stupid.

[@JplaysOfficial]

Oh my, those are sweet looking pedals! Great to see that you enjoyed getting back to iRacing :) Keep it up!

[@TheHighDanger]

Hey Barnacules. I know you wont read this but it's not hard to try. One tip or two on iRacing: You should always heel and toe while downshifting. If you don't know what this is, it's to , while pressing the clutch to downshift blip the throttle to raise the rpms. Your downshifts will be much smoother, and will not have a tendency to sudenly snap when downshifting mid cornerning. And if you find the perfect braking spot where the brakes are at their optimal zone, where you brake the max you can whitout locking the brakes you can get that braking zone smaller :)

[@Barnacules]

Great advise!

[@TheHighDanger]

No problem man. Keep up the great vids :)

[@connorm430]

Gosh what an amazing setup you have! Just watching this I really want this kind of setup or even just a racing wheel! Those pedals are so high quality so I can understand the asking price now, they also look so realistic and seem to respond much like a real car! Keep up the awesome videos Barnacles!

[@REAPER0D]

your riding that clutch pedal like an old woman

[@Barnacules]

I sure am!

[@HopTzop]

Barnacules Nerdgasm Left foot should always stay on/near the clutch. You brake and accelerate with the right foot.

[@MrChicken420]

Thats cause hes is a old woman

[@TheScyy]

I realize this is an old post but lol, you think the brake is just for braking.

[@frederikrasmussen4832]

sharing pedals doesnt do anything good it just makes you slow the way you do it

Tell that to Formula 1 drivers and Rally drivers.

[@frederikrasmussen4832]

They dont press the brake while they accelerate out of the conor atleast f1 drivers they might trail brake in to the corner but the way you do it is just terrible

Holy shet those flexed alot. Brake is amazing feel tho. But way to biased review.

[@JplaysOfficial]

DNF does not affect your license, only the incident limits and corners you make in the race. License is calculated by the CPI = corners per incident basis.

[@Barnacules]

Great to know! Thank you.

[@bashmohandes]

Dude, you brake with your left foot :S Right foot for both Gas and Brakes, Left foot is only for gear changes

[@Barnacules]

When driving on streets yes, when racing no :P Look up left foot braking, it's what professionals do.

[@roflcopter645]

It's actually a safer braking technique to use your left foot for the initial brake application, especially during street driving. it reduces response time in emergency situations.

[@Remmes]

right for gas, left for braking an gear changing.

[@joshuagayman7354]

having raced a fair bit a hillclimb and rally myself i only use the clutch when braking on extremly hard corners and use left foot braking everywhere else especially when i got my hollinger sequential tranny

[@danielgrant4402]

the right foot keeps the turbo spinning

[@liamburke4211]

lee Zamanyan America

[@Wiikendzgoodmix]

lee Zamanyan Right side, correct side.

[@Zaman730]

Wiikendz wrong. Cars were generally designed to have the steering on the right. This is actually the correct side for the steering wheel to be and for the gear stick on the left of the driver. #simplefacts that every driver knows

[@Wiikendzgoodmix]

lee Zamanyan Yea give me them facts on that, 2/3 of the world drive RHD, ie steering wheel on the left, gear stick on the right. So say so if you want.

[@Zaman730]

[@G4rg0yl3z]

To fix the flex on the pedals, try using a thin steel cable and grab the rods to steel arm that grabs your wheel.

[@jeffguerry5752]

Didn't read through all the comments so somebody might have mentioned it but Simxperience is coming out with the AccuForce Wheel that will go great with those pedal sets. Should hopefully be released in the next month or two. People seem to think price should be a hair under the $2k mark.

[@psn1992]

Sorry to say this but you need to get back to work I think... As much I love watching your videos, for someone doing KZbin as a profession there isn't much videos in a single week, because more videos more views I guess and more $$$$..It might be difficult to produce more videos and I can understand that but saying it anyway because it needed to be said and I said it...We are with you whatever you do #FunnyGuy !!!!

[@Barnacules]

Actually I'm doing quite well. Quantity isn't the answer to making a successful KZbin channel. Quality is what is important. But don't worry about me the channel is actually growing faster and doing better then 90% of the channels of a similar size despite not making a video every single day and the revenue stream I get is enough to support my family so I'm going to keep doing this and keep growing it :D So don't worry.

[@psn1992]

I still don't understand how this youtube works out yet but that's good to hear.

[@psn1992]

I do care about the channel and the man and as i said before i was stating just my opinion and as for your comment thanks for your concern!!!

[@DylanPowersz]

To the shoes thing, I feel like that's more of something to get used to. I personally love driving without my shoes because it gives me more pedal feel. Especially in the snow and ice in a car without any traction control or abs, it makes a world of difference. I've also IRL done a race day in a miata, and I wore my tennis shoes while the experienced guys were wearing racing shoes with very thin soles to them. First timer mistake, and I was really hating myself for it.

[@NikoBased]

I don't know how much people are willing to spend on racing simulators before it costs more than racing a damn car to begin with. I mean you can buy a cheap car and go hit up a track for cheaper than some of these sim set ups, and let me tell you, I'd rather take a car a track once a week in real life than do it 600 times a day in a simulator.

[@AceXwilD]

God this is amazing. I drift a dedicated track car IRL, but recently learned about Assetto Corsa and want to get a setup at home. Granted this is way to expensive it blows my mind how much hardware there is for this.

[@mitchellgreig8442]

Got I hate people you use there left foot for the brake pedal I mean the left foot is not for the clutch people and the right foot is for the brake and accelerator

[@troyboy9564]

Mitchell Greig lol

[@aprilionorange6414]

Left foot braking can actually improve your lap times; especially in turbocharged cars or rally racing, since hitting gas and brakes simultaniously lets you slow down without losing boost due to wastegate. Also it shifts the weight to the the front of the car, which is more than useful in rally racing, because the rear of the car will be way more likely to break out allowing you to drift. Long story short: Left foot braking = faster laps due to faster cornering.

[@williamstaples5994]

yea cause I would much rather keep swapping between gas and brake cause the clutch is just use so much to keep a foot locked to just that pedal........ its already shown that people can properly use both feet for gas/brake have better reaction times and I would much rather have a slight slower time hitting the clutch then the brake or gas

[@JoaoPedro-ni6jk]

Left foot braking is king, get good fam

[@koofdome]

My left foot is so much heavier than my right lol. In a real car when i use my left foot to brake, it's like i SLAM on my brakes. Because that foot is so used to a clutch that's so much heavier.

[@itszema3587]

Awesome video jerry, love your videos also nice new graphics art

[@CinemaUnited]

You know that on a track your supposed to brake so hard your abs (almost) kicks in. With your STI you could do maybe 3 laps around a track before your brakes need to cool down with standard Brembo's. Did a track event on Zolder with an S60 Polestar with new Brembo's fitted and after 3 laps we needed to cool the brakes while it was 5 degrees outside.

[@TheSimracedriver]

For those who are asking...yes, the pedals are NO LONGER being sold on the MPPC website... If you're looking for *alternatives*, here are a few of the more popular choices sim racers are using: ~ Fanatec Club Sport Pedals ~ ECCI TrackStart 6000 ~ HE Sim Pedal Ultimate OR the Pros ~ DSD Wilwood Professional Grade Sim Racing Pedals ~ HPP PRX/PRX-SE Granted, some of these are under $500...while the others are $800+...and even $1500...

[@ramoh]

Awesome vid as usual Barnacules!

[@LikeItOrNot117]

Hey jerry, there's a thread going at the moment on the iracing forums by Phillip Jansen van Rensburg about his DIY servo wheel based on the OSW or "Open Sim Wheel". Its DIY, so it would make a fantastic video! Also it can be more powerful and have more detail in the FFB plus lower latency! Its worth a look into! (Plus its cheap as compared to everything else out there ie bodnar wheel). Great video as always!

[@DunstrumGames]

Oh hell yea. I realy want this for racing games. :D GZ on the new pedals.

[@JellyJamz77]

it would be sick if all of the sliders and springs had motors. This would allow you to download a profile with measurements from an actual car so they would match that certain pedal set. I see a suggestion box entry soon!

[@henryedwards7750]

These are literally the sexiest pedals in the word!!! When gt7 comes out will will have to seriously shop around for the ultimate sim setup! Great video though man.

[@backcountryme]

I'm in the middle of building my rig. It will be way different from the one you have. I am a dirt racer mainly, so I am setting mine up like a sprint car cockpit. I would love to race with you some day.

[@shrek4032]

If you want possibly the most high end belt driven wheel, then go with the Fanatech club sport wheel, If you want an extremely expensive but awesome wheel go with the Leo Bodnar wheels.

[@kght222]

actually with pro stock (8 second quarter mile or so, up to 9) you don't want to hit the breaks unless you are already slowed down allot by the chute or you are about to hit a wall, just tapping the breaks at 150mph+ can cost a couple grand.

[@Barnacules]

New vlog coming out tomorrow! And thank you.

Hey, barnacles, if you want shoes that feel good with racing pedals, try Puma, or Simpson racing shoes. They are made as racing shoes and they are flat. That's so your feet don't get hung on the pedals. I used to wear them when I raced go karts

[@looniegaming9419]

The corkscrew is my favourite corner on any track I’ve driven in a racing game

[@DoctorSargeMD]

Thanks for the view, this looks pretty awesome, and as a side note I really like the fan art :D p.s. driving without shoes is really strange because it feels like you have to be more accurate with your foot placement or something. Most of the time during the summer when I usually wear sandals I'll use to get to my car and I'd just slip em off and drive barefoot. It's an incredibly weird feeling but after awhile you get used to it :P

[@flyingscalpel7]

Cool pedals for a race car guy, but I'm a pilot. If you do FSX, I recommend XXR, what this is basically a real, 100% authentic rudder/break pedals from yes, the Boeing 737. They are the best in simulation for flight, however they are $3,499.99, but it's well worth it.

[@renneagon2367]

Man I'd love to get this, even if it was just for a present for my old man. I'm sure there's more joy he'd get out of it than I would. Got an old Logitech Driving Force setup that was originally ment for the Ps2, does the job but the pedals have all the tension of a kitchen sponge

[@ShakaTechnique]

You should get that fanatec clubsport wheel base with like the glass window, then get a wheel of choice, if you don't like the fanatec wheels they sell, you could get an adapter and use actual car wheels.

[@WaybackTECH]

Boy Jerry, It seems like this would have been a great Jerry Rig'd video of getting pedals out of the junk yard or ebay and some clutch/brake master cylinders and rig'd something up. I'm feeling a little bit of sheet metal and a welder, stock pedals could be made to fit. But this is an extremely nice setup and it is definitely something that people would go jelly for.

[@LogiForce86]

Nice review, Jerry. Glad to see you back in the seat. :) As far as direct-driver wheels go there are only 2 with a 3 rumored. Plus from those two only 1 is on the market as of yet. 1. SimSteering wheel (by LeoBodnar) 2. SimXperience AccuForce (not yet available. Possible 1600 to 1800 usd price point, but I haven't read anything concrete yet) 3. Fanatec direct-drive (rumored of them thinking about making one. So a no go for a wheel) For the SimSteering wheel check out Barry Rowland's review at his Sim Racing Garage channel. Also I see another downside to these pedals. No clutch pressure plate simulation mechanism. So you don't have that feel of pushing through the diaphragm spring. As far as the Fanatec CSP goes, I agree with the downside. But you can hardly complain about that considering the pricepoint. Anything better with a nice finish seems to all be well above 500 usd, with them quickly being 700, 800, 900 dollars.

[@Barnacules]

I completely agree! I already contacted SimXPerience about the AccuForce to see if I could be a beta tester and do some videos for them. As for the clutch diaphragm spring the CSP does a good job of simulating that whereas these new pedals don't but to be honest I like the additional travel on the new pedals and didn't even miss the clutch feel from the CSP at all. I do wonder if there would be some clever little way to upgrade these to give the spring feel like the CSP's. Now you got me thinking :D

[@bigtrucker26]

Barnacules Nerdgasm pressure plate sim mod suggestion-take a silicone bushing-thin diameter, soft, and taper it, insert inside the spring for the clutch, making sure it is shorter than the set travel. That, if cut right, should provide the feeling of a additional transition.... Secondarily-little more expensive, you could get a second hydraulic set (master/slave/etc), and use a softer thinner bushing than what is installed on the brake. Many cars, including my ranger, have hydraulic clutches, instead of cable clutches. Of course at that point, you could also get a spring/dead disc/and bad flywheel, from say a local wrecker, and just clean and paint them, hide them in a box, and run your hydraulic to it.... It would be heavier, but would give you the "real deal"

[@bigtrucker26]

bigtrucker26 perhaps some surgical tubing on the shaft under the clutch spring would suffice....?

[@singingwolf3929]

Great vid and I love the Bluntman and Chronic T-shirt

[@gaming-zombie1392]

They Look real & nice as hell...

[@diablothe2nd]

I think the Fanatec Clubsport is most definitely the next step up from the T500. The shifter also blows the Thrusmaster one out of the water. Only trouble is you're gunna need about 2 grand for the wheel base, the wheel, and the shifter. I have the BMW and the Formula rims and love them, they make a G27 look and feel like a child's toy. I suppose the next move up from there you're looking at a Frex, but i've never used one so can't comment on its feel.

[@diablothe2nd]

just to add, although belt drive, the clubsport V1 base doesn't have the looseness and cogging feel of either the G27 or the T500 around the center. the V2 base has been redesigned even further for less resistance/cogging and more force feedback. The only problem i've had is the main wheel sensor died on me, but Fanatec identified the problem after sending them a video and posted me a replacement i fitted myself within two days. Great aftersales care.

[@ChiefArwood]

Thanks, Jerry, for the review. It was very informative and interesting.

[@TheChrisglasgow]

Ur driving is getting better buddy

[@Barnacules]

Thank you! I'm a lot more comfortable with the game now that I've got more pedal travel and way more brake feel.

[@extrememito]

Oh god I'm so jealous :D I would love to have hydraulic brake pedal for sim racing. It is really gamechanger

[@flawns]

that description in this video has a rising action, character development and a plot twist

Barnacules. Man of Fashion

[@Brian-lj1mw]

Very cool pedals... Hope you enjoy them

[@bsntadinfo2480]

ECCI makes a great wheel, also Simxperience was working on a really nice wheel last I checked.

[@ImbecileNerd]

Wow that flexes quite a bit when your put pressure on the brakes.

[@Barnacules]

I was pushing pretty hard but it does flex quite a bit. I am going to see if I can use some turnbuckles to angle to the top and bottom of the sim to hold it completely solid. I'll experiment around and make a #JerryRigged episode for my solution

[@ImbecileNerd]

Barnacules Nerdgasm Ah sounds like a good idea. Was thinking it might work itself loose or start to stress the structure out if it keeps bending like that

[@bigtrucker26]

Barnacules Nerdgasm All you need is a bracket like the ones on the ends, then run a arm (plate) going to the top bar, with a single u-bolt.... Or you could simply make a bracket to bolt to the brake bracket, and have a arm on the bracket that attaches to the top bar with a single u-bolt. Either way you aren't talking much load, and it is just in a fore/aft direction. If you want to make a arm that has adjustable length, just make sure you use at least 2 bolts in the adjustment, to prevent the adjustment point from becoming a pivot point...

[@kenball1980]

awesome setup!!! I'm so jealous.

[@Mysteoa]

Probably you can mitigate the flex if you make a custom support to put it above the brake.

[@MutepusMinecraft]

Love the new logo
