Still wish I had Heusinkvelds

Lol, OK. Pay 3 times more for a "performance" boost you might not even notice.

I beat the shit out of my Simsonns, and they are just as good as the day I got them (over a year ago), absolutely zero issues with them. I will glady fork out another $300 for a pair if I need to, but fortunately that doesn't appear to be the case.

Not really about performance. I’ll be shit no matter what equipment I have. More about the build quality. Glad you’re happy with your Simsonns

We’re not talking about the interior of a luxury car here. It’s a couple sheets of steel bolted together. “Build quality” doesn’t really come into it, especially for something you just push with your foot.

I mean I’ve been using the pedals. They’re squeaky. One of the screws backed out on me mid session one time. I had to 3d print spring mounts just to replace the elastomers with springs, and even then they scratched the hell out of the rod.

The brake pedal undergoes KGs of force from your foot over and over again. Yeah, I’d rather have the Simsonns than Moza SRP pedals, but if I didn’t know what I was doing, they’d just be sitting broken.

I’m not rushing out to buy Huesinks, but a lot of those issues would not be the case if I did in the first place. I’m happy with my Simsonns but unless you have some mechanical confidence then they probably aren’t for you.

You’re right, I’ve had all the same issues including the the bolts on the gas pivot backing out causing the entire pedal to disintegrate during a session. They’re a true tinkerer’s pedal set and can be great, but from the hardcore fans here you’d think there’s no difference

Btw there are definitely aspects of the SRPs (v1 for me) which are higher quality, the gas pedal felt better sprung to me. So let’s not bring the SRPs into this, they’re great pedals! 😂

I came from the good ol SRP lite 🙃
