ProtoSimTech's Pedals Coming Very Soon!
Looking forward to some new pedals on the market? These have been in the making for 2 years. Never have I seen a manufacture take such care and pay attention to this level of detail as PST has, all while letting us follow along with their Vlog.
The first batch of 20 will come powder coated. Due to the expense and trying to keep these pedals affordable for all to experience, the future batches will come bead blasted leaving a really nice finish. Chris Smith is investigating options like anodizing as well, but don't let that hold you up because these pedals look Awesome!
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a pair of these pedals to review. I'm really interested in the clutch mechanism being used. I'm also keen to more brake feel with the adjustable brake and optional harder brake bushing that comes with it. Did I mention PST even includes all the necessary hardware to make adjustments?
If I'm lucky I'll be able to get a set and get back with you all, as these are very popular. Lets see if they can live up to the hype. I'm pretty sure they can!
