That dd wheelbase + $25 office chair + ratchet straps is by far the highest grade equipment in the SRG! Love it. Deserves a video all on its own.

I bought this about the same time as he reviewed the product. I am retired and drive several hours every day. The product is still working as good as day 1. It really uses a "Hall Effect" because it is basically a steel rod going in and out of an electromagnet. I have mine inverted in G27 pedals and I love it. It is still very stiff.

Another awesome review, thanks Barry. I frequently go back to your reviews over the years to help me make decisions on purchases I am planning to make. The SRG is an invaluable resource. P.S. It boggles the brain that someone would downvote this video.

Thank you, good sir! Amazingly detailed as always. You are one of the best contributors to the sim racing scene . keep up the good work! We appreciate it very much !

Thank you for this review. So many people want to know about this device!

Like how you show and explain every detail of the upgrade and easy to follow instructions

Always great reviews that allow a person to make a good assessment of a product. I think I’ll get one of these as a back up to my Ricmotech.

I just got mine today, just wanted to drop a quick thank you, I was dreading the install so much I put off buying it originally, however, your video showed it was really straight forward to do, loving the mod now, so thank you again!

I love your reviews you take your time you show and explain every single detail of a sim racing product.

Great review. It had an ASMR feel to it - very chilled vibe :) Thanks for making the effort to really go into detail with this one. I'm thinking about getting one for my current setup and this really helped... guess it's a no brainer really. Thanks again.

Every time I get the review I'm looking for HERE. Thank you!

SRG need some T-shirts and other merch with "So...Lets Get To It"

Thank you for making this video. I've been looking for mods that are more than just out a 3D printed spacer in. Just pre-ordered my mod and cable! Looking forward to it

Frigging delightful breakdown and assessment!

Great video - many thanks Barry. I just placed an order for the new brake and the Bodnar adapter.

Best sim racing channel online. Thanks again Barry

Thanks for the review! Looks to be a good quality product

I like how barry reviews "cheap" (called for some people) logitech pedal mods. Nice job, i like your videos

I got this mod. So happy with the purchase. My braking is now controllable. I am getting better lap times because of it. I can brake so much later. I never used a load cell. I have only owned a g920 brake set. Dump the original brake, swap the springs around. It’s great. If you have the money buy a bettter set up. If you’re on a budget like me, this is soo worth it. I’m trying to get the word out. True brake is awesome.

appreciate the video and the effort...as well as the appreciation of good machine work

You reviewed the hell out of that dude, great work. Safe to say I’ve just purchased one of these myself.

Love that FS HDO and Rapidfire on the back wall !

Thanks for the review! I bought this mod earlier but it was way too stiff for me, but seen how you dismantled, so after that I knew how to change the main spring. Now it's brilliant!

Dude ..you have great pedagogical skills! well explained

May have to give this a go. Looks easy enough. Of course, Barry makes every tear-down look easy.

Thanks for this. Very well made

Had my truebrake for a few months now. It's superb. The brake feel is amazing, feels just like a good firm brake, a small amount of initial movement then really firm. Lap times dropped noticeably.

Bought it and love it. One thing i recommend is that you buy the optional spring kits. I found that the 100% spring was too stiff, very hard on the door and could not get a good feel, switched to 60% and so much better. Now I may go to the 80% to see how that does. Great product.

Quality review A++

Thanks for this detailed review. I also liked your thoughts at the end about load cells. I think this device is more like a spring gauge than it is like a load cell. I think it's quite clever though and after seeing your review I've ordered one for my G29.

I wish i woulda seen this sooner! I literally just purchased the other brake mod for the G29 pedals you did a review on.... might return it and order this instead

Awesome review, just ordered one

Thank you excellent job well detailed and well done thanks again George

Cool. I've got my G29 pedals upside down hard mounted to my DIY rig through a T300 wheelbase and I love it (much better than the thrustmaster pedals IMO). I have been hesitating on the richmotech load cell due to the cost for a long time. This looks like exactly what I've been looking for at excellent value. Thanks for the great review.

I'm a first time viewer, just subscribed. Great video! I may pick up this mod for my g923.

I have been using mine three months, this is absolutely great product!

Looks nice

Great review! Mine is being produced this month, can't wait for it to arrive! They are suffering from a large backlog, this review will certainly not help that situation. Going to use it with the Leo Bodnar cable I already have, so same configuration.

I have the same Next Level Racing DD Wheel Stand, I used a second pedal plate from previous rig it has a 90 degree angle and I bolted them together. I used an adaptor from G27 pedals to my TM T500 wheel base. I had to cut the grounds since I pulled the assemblies from the plastic case and grounded it thru the metal to metal contact. It is in the instructions for mounting your pedals to the DD Wheel Stand. His uses the connection away from the wheel base. Just something to keep in mind.

now i want one

i like the box. makes me feel like I'm buying a part for my actual car and therefore makes spending money hurt less.

Subbed! I absolutely love your videos! Your style is more like I'm watching a real automotive installation/ review, which is great cause tech KZfaqrs often leave a lot of questions on the table. Also, a question- Should I go for the Logitech G29? It's way cheaper and the only difference I'm aware of is the loadcell simulator on the newer sets, which is pointless if I plan on doing this mod. Also I hear the new pedals have a weird exponential curve in the brake pedal.

Fist time viewer, really enjoyed the video. Im probably going to pick one of these up. I see your Hudy equipment, just the tools or are you into RC Racing as well?

Starting this video with 50eur in hand. Have been looking for a reliable review. 🤘

But how would it perform with the normal G29 wheel like many people use it? Without the bodnar cable and the enhanced resolution that comes with it. Would have been more interesting imo

You have always made the best and most detailed video hvem it comes to g29, do you have plans to review "logitech racing adaptor"?

Great review! I was just wondering if it would still work if you plugged the pedals into the wheel or do you NEED an adaptor?

I almost sent you a message a few days ago asking if a review was on your radar for this mod. Thanks for giving it the SRG treatment. I've been tempted to pull the trigger on this for the past month regardless and now I'm even closer. But. What I'd really like is some feedback from you or others who like me use a GTeye spring with the Bodnar cable and if this is a big enough improvement over that to justify the upgrade. Looks like it's about $74 USD at the moment with shipping.

Improve a Lot my Race xperiece

I've had mine for a few months and plenty happy with it. Immediately gained time over the stock logi brake

then gotta test it going thru the base cause that’s the most common config. All the best

You should be the voice actor for movie trailers

you’ve got a great voice. thank you for the tear down and review. you said the product works, and justifies the price. as a viewer, i would have appreciated guidance on how well this compares to low end load cell pedals like the TLCM from thrustmaster. would you be able to get lower lap times or more confidence and consistency on the TLCM pedals? if so, by how much? you put a couple hours into driving this, so you already know what your time trial times would be on this versus whatever your go-to pedals are, and i would appreciate if you shared that.

Hi Barry, I noticed you received Sim Lab's SF1 seat, when can we expect your review on that?

Got my TrueBrake package this past week and this is the weekend to install. I feel very confident now after watching the review. Thanks Barry!

Interesting, didn't know these things existed for Logitech setups!

Sold my sprint and got this for my old pedal with Leo bodnar cable. Waiting on iracing to update so I can test it. 🙂

Thanks for the review! So, if you cannot bypass the Logitech firmware brake curve, I mean if you are connecting it to the Logitech wheel, does it makes sense even buying it?

Sold :)

Great review, I have just bought the upgrade myself, but to correct something, you are in fact breaking by travel distance, it is simply a shorter distance than stock with a much stronger spring.

Would you ever consider making a video giving us a tour of your rig?

Nice review, I just ordered mine and Im still trying to figure out what preload to use, Which one is closes to factory on logitech 920? I assuming the smallest one axc has ?

I bought this mod still couldn't brake correctly with it... no fault of Barry solid review sir... thankfully I work as a lead operator for a plastic company that makes plastic material for the company that supplies gm with the plastic rubber compounds they use anyways a chunk of G311 A40 compound that vented out of the top of our extruder machine worked perfectly it actually made it a progressive brake pedal and feels perfect under foot to me and won't leave a bruise if I decide to drive in my socks...

There has been a lot of hate on this mod, mostly because of the way it is marketed. Despite that, once you use it you realise it is an excellent mod which is much cheaper than but the equal of a load-cell mod for the Logitech pedals. Yes, it won't be as good as pedals designed for load-cells but it is pitched perfectly for the Logitech pedals. However, if you do not have any pedals as yet, it is not economically smart to buy the Logitech pedals and the TrueBrake mod together. It will be cheaper and ultimately much better to buy one of the various entry-level load-cell pedal sets available from Fanatec in 2022 on. So, if you are on a budget and do not expect to buy more kit, get the TB. If you are starting from scratch, look at a different wheel and pedal combination.

Great Stuff....the USB Cable is in this Bundle or ordering separate?

just got it. easy to install for sure. I even got the cable to bypass the firmware but now the throttle is not working the same. I'm assuming because of the firm wear bypass. I am going to try their potentiometer upgrade for the throttle see if that helps. Sucks because if i had known that i would have saved a bunch of shipping and have both installed and working already.

Well, it's not cheap but not that expensive too...about 65, 66 euros. Thank you, very interesting (and convincing). BTW your driving station is gorgeous!!!

I got this mod for my logitech G923 pedal base running Gran Turismo 7 on a PS5. Following the directions I switched the hub from the clutch to the brake, disconnected the R/W/B wires from the logitech potentiometer, reconnected to TBv2 wire harness. I am registering zero braking in GT7 after install. Suggestions? I double checked the correct color wires were matching to the harness

Hi SimRaceGarage, great video. Thank you for that! On min 42:00 approx u are talking about a "Firmware" on the G29 wheelbase which lets call it interfer the raw input on software level. Do you know if the G27 (twentySEVEN) is affected by that, too? If yes, what was the adapter you were using to bypass that? Greetings

Great review. I am a ps4 user. Got some issues with my true brake. On some games we can't calibrate the pedal "in game", main example is ACC. As a result I need to apply a lot of pressure to get to 100%, a lot. It feels I can stand on one feet with the amount of pressure. Afraid i might due some damage to the gear, or to my own knee. Any solution? Don't think so. Already contacted Kunos to see if they get that calibration option that all other games including the original AC have on the ps4. Other than that... it's a great mod.

Does this work out the box once installed, or do you need to mess around with the saturation etc… only reason is GT sport doesn’t allow and pedal calibration which has killed my home made one

hello there!! Yesterday, I installed the True Brake into my G923 pedals, but since I have my left ankle injured, it came to stiff, that after only five pedal pushes, my ankle started to hurt, and still do 24hrs later. So I disabled the pedals again and installed the OEM spring, and know even if i push the pedal to the maximum, it only reports 74% in all the games and in G-hub... can you please give some advice. Thanks

Did you notice any flex in the pedal base? I just noticed you didn't perform your hard test where you mount it to the 8020 and do a bunch of heel toe!

Great review, I just ordered one. Now I'm wondering if the firmware is still an issue since in the latest Logitech G Hub software are some sensitivity settings that are declared as "linear" in the 50% position. At least its possible for the G923 I own. Also would it be a good idea to put the old brake spring to the clutch and the clutch spring to the gas pedal? I could live with the clutch but imo the gas pedal is too soft...

What's it like with the stock firmware curve?

Hi Barry great review. Since it’s back ordered i decided to make my own based on their idea. Been working great so far. Is there a way I could send you one to compare and see what your thoughts are to the real one?

Is ther somtihng spezial i have to watch if im conecting my g29 padels the same way? Any spezial software i need bc. i was looking for an answer on the internet but could not find something.

If you were limited to console which would be a better upgrade Ricmotech or Truebrake? I would invest in CSL Elite pedals but to make it compatible with a G920 it would cost like $100-$200 more.

Hi, got my kit in 2 days and I'm wondering which of the Spacers (3 sizes) do you think is the best to use?

Can this compete, price aside, with the perfect pedal or Total Spanish sim(discontinued) hydraulic units?

Thx´s ...

Your videos are absolutely the greatest! I'm very new to the sim community. I have a cousin that's been paraplegic since he was 16, hes 26 now I believe. Cant use his legs. I just recently visited his state for a death in the family. He showed me his racing wheel and pedals. I then watched him play Iracing stuff and seen how he was having to use his hand on the pedals while steering with the other hand and felt terrible because hes really into racing. The wheels with analog paddles seem super expensive. Being handicapped, he struggles financially and hes recently started a family. I'm trying to build him a sim rig. I was really wanting to do a 2DOF with traction loss using aluminum extrusion after looking into everything heavily. I'm not wealthy either lol. I've realized it might be out of reach for me to do for him. Everything seems pretty expensive. But I REALLY want to make his sim dreams happen. Can anyone point me in the right direction on a build thats 2dof with traction loss that isnt going to cost more than 1.5 grand? Its going to take me long enough to learn actuators and servos. I'm getting overwhelmed lol. Any help would be super appreciated. I am in other communities online but I cant really find anything for what I'm looking for.

I cant get my 3 wires off the brake pedal..dunno why it seems stuck and i dont want to apply any extra force. Any advice?

Does this preload parts just generate a deadzone or does the Pedal really detect that movement?

Would you say these are more a hybrid? neither a load cell or potentiometer ! Also switching bumpers could be time consuming until you've found the one that suits you but looks like a good alternative solution to more expensive LCs.

I installed mine yesterday and the improvement in brake feeling is so big. I can now brake more natural but I needed 2 hours to get used to the force the pedal now needs. 100% worth it 👍

@SimRacingGarage Thanks for a great review. Ordered a set. Question about the bodnar cable. I never understood that the cable was useful to bypass the firmware in the G29 and newer wheels that distorted the brake linear input. That said, I have a DFGT with a set of G27 pedals modded to work with it. I intend to use the DFGT wheel in line with the TrueBrake modded G27 pedals. I'm assuming that the firmware in the newer logitech wheels you mentioned doesn't apply to the DFGT? And if it does, then that means I'll need to get the Bodnar cable... right?

Im hoping to get the logitech g29 and driving force shifter on palm sunday 3 days away on my birth day. i saw my present wrapped up in the top of my parents closet.

I'm using a G27 with PS3 to PS4 adapter. Would this mod still work ? Also which Main Spring Rating option is recommended?

Would this work correctly on a ps4? He says he uses a usb converter to bypass the firmware.

Bougt the V2.2 and this is a better instal video that there original video thx

Hello I'm David, I'm French, I just watched your video and I would like to do as you put my g29 pedalboard live on my pc, I would like to know what software you used to make it work. Thanks in advance

Could anyone recommend this mod for console users or even that I only have Logitech wheel?

i would like to see how it compares T-LCM

what about the g920 pedals for xbox one!!??? logitech use weird springs and i am about to swap them out for better springs with the ring sealers and plug sealers!! will this work on the g920 clutch, gas and brake pedals for xbox one!!?? also have you tried using the handbrake for drifting without the shifters!!??

that sir is called a jesus clip, when it flies you say jesus where did that go.

Nice stab at Ricmotech about the cheap slotted hose.

How does it work with the g29 pedal base and the braking curve there? Not sure if it's worth buying for my G29+PS4 set-up if there will still be some brake issues

Any set up info? How you set up iracing?

You seem to be saying that you like this better than the Ricmotech Load cell. Is that the case?
