This wheel right here is one of my favorite wheels to race with. Pure feel. I will say for a 290mm wheel it seems much bigger lol. I guess due to the height and just overall size of the wheel all around. But it's good for sure. I do usually prefer shorter wheels in height but this one feels so good to race with.

@grayzedynamics 2 месяца назад

It's a really great wheel. Price is good but it is missing thumb encoders to be honest. Feels great tho. Super high quality wheel.

@grayzedynamics 9 месяцев назад

Thanks and much appreciated. Have a few reviews planned for the very near future. Unless you just want LED buttons and a more contoured grip. The FPE is awesome. The X-29 is smaller and feels to me more comfy in hand, but the chunky grips on the FPE allow for a death grip. lol

Got this for -$200. Micro center was selling a bundle simucube 2 1200$+gsi $650 for 999$. So it’s as if this wheel was -$200. Great wheel, feels great

@grayzedynamics 4 месяца назад

Yeah that bundle was amazing. If I didn’t have what I have, I would have gotten this hands down. X-29 is a great wheel, and at that price it’s a steal.

Check out SRM. They make multiple different types of connectors that will allow different QR’s and connectors on their wheels. I am sure they have a cheaper solution for you.

@MikaTarkela Месяц назад

I'm looking to buy a F1 / GT style wheel soon. Do you have any suggestions on other wheels at same price point? My only requirement is 70 mm or 50.8 mm bolt patterns so I can make it work with my Asetek QR adapter. Edit: Needs to be a USB wheel

@grayzedynamics Месяц назад

What is your budget? The X-29 with or without clutches? When are you in the market to purchase said wheel. I know of something that is coming soon, but depends on your price point. All the wheels you will buy will be a USB wheel for the most part.

@drchtct 9 месяцев назад

Tried this yesterday at an expo and was blown away by the price. It's from a premium manufacturer, has plenty of buttons, 2 funky switches, 3 encoders, good shifters. No thumb encoders, but how often are we really using them? I thought this would be close to €1000, I think it's one of the best to get at the price it's at

@grayzedynamics 9 месяцев назад

Wow. Nice you got to go to the expo. I wish I was closer to it. Gives me more a reason to visit Germany. It is truly a sweet wheel. I will be getting the clutches in the future but not for a while yet. Building a DIY wheel here soon. This stuff is addicting.

For sure. It would be great. Although it would likely be in Las Vegas which is quite a ways away from me. But I’d get the wife to come and make a weekend of fun and food. I wonder where it will be next year. I hear ADAC is changing venues for next year.

@amigoz3201 11 месяцев назад

Which is more comfy for you this or simracingbay v2 rim? Also grip is thinner on gsi than simracingbay?

@grayzedynamics 11 месяцев назад

If I am comparing just the grips. The SRB is slightly better but very subjective because they are chunky and not very contoured to your hand. Whereas the GSI is more form fitting. If you wanted just a wheel rim I'd highly recommend the SRB. Depends on your budget. The Balkn wheel is a great choice as well. Love the grips.

Well with that then for sure it is a GREAT wheel and if it is within your budget you won't be disappointed. If it's not their are some really good alternatives like the Balkn wheels. I can say I am very glad I purchased the GSI wheel. It'll be used quite often.

Hey man. I just ordered the wheel with the moza qr. Putting the qr on the gsi wheel is it something anyone can figure out carefully? And did it come with mounting screws? I'd not what did you use I ordered the exact same setup you have. Appreciate the help

@grayzedynamics 5 месяцев назад

Nice wheel. To attach the QR you’ll have to take the wheel apart unless you get a spacer. You’ll have to take the wheel apart, remove the pcb and get captives screws from GSI. you can get from anywhere too. It does not come with screws, you’ll have to get them yourself.

Drop the laser etched labels and put in a couple of thumb rotaries and would be a buy for me. Unfortunately i cant see myself pressing the buy button

Get the GSI. If you have to have thumb encoders I get it but the grips on the F-Pro are really hard. You WILL have to use gloves. What are you using it for? Do you need clutches?

@GhandiVampireHunter 11 месяцев назад

@@grayzedynamics It will be my only wheel. I mostly race gt4 and gt3. I will get it with clutches so the price is almost the same

@grayzedynamics 11 месяцев назад

If your racing gt3 and gt4 you can save and get the clutches later. However if you have the cash, getting it now is great too. I've had both and I sold my F-Pro, won't be selling the X-29. It's too good. It truly is worth it, thumb encoders would be great but honestly, I don't use them much in game. Useful for formula racing but most races won't ever use. Both good wheels, I think the x-29 is great.

@markremillosa5081 9 месяцев назад

Hello sir,,is it easy to fix the moza or simagic qr direct on the rim?

@grayzedynamics 9 месяцев назад

Nope. But was worth it. You'll need to get their captive screws and nuts. And you would have to take the wheel apart to attach directly to the QR. I do not like spacers so it was worth it for me. Otherwise I would have to get spacers for all of my wheels. So it depends on whether or not it is ideal for your setup. It clears easily too so no issues.

@markremillosa5081 9 месяцев назад

@@grayzedynamics as long as no soldering i think im good sir hahaha,,yeah thats the thing for me as well thats why i dont need the spacer cause i need to adjust all of my rim,,is the cord touching the qr not a problem?

@grayzedynamics 9 месяцев назад

I don't have an issue with it touching on my VRS. There is plenty of room for the cord. I think you'd be fine too. Just be prepared to take the entire wheel apart and move the PCB to get to the screws. Once attached it works great.

@WittyGooseRacing 4 месяца назад

Would you recommend this over anything still sub $1100?

@grayzedynamics 4 месяца назад

Well I'd say if your spending up to $1100, I would recommend you wait. Some new wheels are coming in the following months that may have great features. There are a lot of good contenders. X-29 is great and a good value but if you want thumb encoders than I'd wait or check out the new Simagic Neo. Not the same build quality but great bang for buck.

KS is a good entry and bargain wheel. And for most it is all they will ever need. However, we must not forget what it is. It's a sub $300 wheel and a good value but it is very much plastic.
