I wondered if you might have the answer to this. I just ordered the 8 Nm DD last night (DO NOT TELL THE WIFE!!) and i own the McLaren GT3 V2 wheel with the plastic quick release. Now I believe the quick release has to be upgraded to the "metal" version for the DD1 & 2 but i haven't heard whether it needs to be replaced for the 8 Nm "baby" DD. I'm assuming not, but would welcome clarification. BTW, I do enjoy your content, and consider you largely responsible for my purchase last night....another reason not to tell the wife! 😄
No need for upgraded QR as you will get full 8Nm with the basic QR.
@@GamerMuscleVideos Perfect, as i thought but I appreciate the confirmation. Only have to wait 3 months for it to get here now!! :/
@@ianjackson4011 I know the feeling I have been waiting 6+ months for the synden lightgun 🤣👌
@@GamerMuscleVideos These companies don't understand the mental torture we endure!! 😓🤣
Imo Fanatec should quickly make 2 full wheel and pedals bundles: one is the absolute cheapest and the other is the full experience. Millions of people have never heard about Fanatec or DD and they are still buying the one solution Logitech only for the piece of mind.
Yup. Everybody just goes for Logitech as a beginner...
logitech is probably the best place to start as a beginner tbf.. it was my first wheel as well 😅
In theory the Csl DD PRO will come with the DD, pedals and an ugly wheel created by Gran turismo ppl.
Agree. For a newbie it' quite tricky to undertand the eco system.
Just make a csl dd bundle.
@@EndureRacing Most beginners will go for the cheapest option. Especially if they've never tried a wheel before. That's how I did it as well. For someone who didn't know anything about wheels, the ease of the G29 bundle was what I liked. And it was cheaper than a bunch of other options. I wasn't about to spend $600+ on a hobby I wasn't even sure I would like. Though, I probably should have gone with a lower end TM set.
Then after about a year with the G29 and familiarizing myself with more aspects of simracing, I made the decision to go all in and buy a Fanatec setup.
9:56 whoever created that effect on the windscreen is the god of graphics (feels like after you wash your car but use a muddy non microfiber cloth to wipe the windshield).
Probably shader patch for assetto corsa. Pretty dope I agree
That's why for every mod car I make, I still steal that texture from Kunos
Ordered mine back in June, it will finally arrive in October. Will be a very welcomed upgrade from my logitech haha.
I did the same. I'm sad to see my g29 go... So many memories..
I did the same. Most of it is already here. Just waiting on the base itself & the power pack to ship. Shows first week of Sept currently. Hoping it shows up on time! Shipping to the states takes a bit of time. Especially if your on the east coast.
Budget DD was the dream of Wiiliam March from Sim Racing Paddok.
I've been on my Logitech G920 for over 2 years now. Bought it all used. After potentiometer replacements, wheel swaps, spring upgrades & everything else I've modded on it...I'm ready for the upgrade. My shipment (base + HP power pack) should be here first week of Sept. Keeping my🤞it shows up on time. Pedals & McLaren GT3 wheel have been here for a couple weeks already. Love the content GM! Keep it up mate 👊
Congrats. I have the McLaren GT3 V2 and love it. Thinking about upgrading my Elite 1.1 for the DD
When did you place your pre-order? I placed it yesterday after making an account and subscribing to the newsletter and kinda hoped to get it in the 2nd wave, but have to wait till november 23th. It sucks I have to wait for 3 more months, but also gives me more time to save for a wheel and pedals, because I don't have enough money yet.
@@MrMikap74 I actually ordered the 8 Nm one last night. Because i am an existing customer from when i bought the Elite, it should be available Nov 8th for me. This is gonna be torture as i am NOT a patient man!!!. I would recommend the McLaren GT3 V2 if you are ok with formula wheels, VERY good value for money ($200). The V3 pedals ($360) I would also highly recommend over the CSL pedals if you can do it. Either way I'm excited for us both! 😁
@@ianjackson4011 I thought existing customers would recieve their units already in september, but maybe I got it wrong. English is not my main language. I am doubting between the McLaren V2 wheel or the WRC elite wheel. I think the McLaren is better, but the WRC more allround. To be honest my budget is limited and I have always liked the look of the CLS elite pedals. I hope time flies for the both of us.
@@MrMikap74 I hope it does too. My original wheel is the P1 which is basically the same as the WRC without the plastic quick release and some aesthetics. It's a pretty nice wheel, but I just had to get the GT3 V2 when it came out and have used it since. One thing i like with that wheel (P1) is the wheel itself, in the grip, has movement and with the new DD you're (We're) gonna feel that a lot more. I'm excited....but 3 MONTHS!! lolol
"High Power Power Pack and Low Power Power Pack" always makes me smile
Excellent review mate, ordered the dd with boost power supply, and McLaren GT3 rim! Really looking forward to using it!👌
Pre ordered mine so glad it turned out good ....hopefully some longer term use reviews will be good news
Same pleased I took the jump on release of the CSL DD as watching all the reviews and the good feed back about it's going to be a good upgrade from my G29 😀☕☕☕☕
8NM?
@@christopheroconnor4665 yes had a feeling it wouldn't be so good without the boost kit
Can't wait to play the Lawn Mowing Simulator with this Wheel
I honestly dont know what Thrustmaster were thinking with that TGT2 pricing. I mean surely they can't be that unaware of what fantec is doing price wise? Csl DD is a far superior product.
I think Fanatec took the market completely by surprise with the CSL DD. The big manufacturers probably thought DD would always be high-end exclusive products, out of reach for regular consumers. It could take Thrustmaster and Logitech years to catch up.
Its very simple: Fanatec will not be able to sell this in any real numbers until well into 2022. So guess what people will be buying until then...
Yeah, I think so, too. They try to milk the PlayStation Boys as much as they can, to maybe finance their own DD development.
@@808GT i would honestly wait
Thrustmaster is French, explains everything
Love the googly eyes LOL!! 😮😮 p.s. I have bad tinnitus so couldn't detect the audio issue - bonus 😜
Oh man cant wait, ordered mine at 2nd wave. Cheers.
Use an hair drier (no pun intended 😄) to heat up the glue in the sticker (or adhesive stickers in general) and it will come off easily without leaving any mark or residue 😉 thanks for the review, informative and right on point as per usual! Other reviewers get lost in enthusiastically praising products without really focusing or even stressing the eventual downsides or sometimes flaws they have. To me that makes a review completely useless. An honest review is useful to the viewer to have a genuine overlook, and to the manufacturer to know where the product needs perfecting to make it even better. Keep ‘em coming
Hair dryers are for women and Fanatec should just use vinyl-stickers instead.
You think GM has a hair dryer?!
@golden I´m not trying that mate!
@golden WD40 is also a good choice
Just spent my first full evening with my DD Pro and CSL Pedals LC setup. It is bloody superb. The upgrade from my T300 is off the charts.
did you get the 5 or the 8nm? im contemplating the same upgrade but i really dont want to buy the overpriced power supply if i dont have to
@@AC-wl7ve 8Nm. I was never interested in using a motor rated for 8Nm being forced into a low power state. The lower power inevitably takes the motor out of its sweet spot and will hurt the experience beyond just the 5 vs 8Nm number.
For the price this is gonna be for a dd setup its gonna take over surely, ill be buying one.
I personally would use the locking pin on any and all wheels as this should reduce any wear and tear on the quick release mechanism and therefore prolonging the life of both wheel and base !
agreed, besides it's no issue for me, I am turning wrenches all the time and have tools no big thang.
Man, the QR issue is a serious bummer, especially considering it's, by now, a piece of machinery they should've mastered. Also, it seems like it's not just a GamerMuscle issue, as several other reviewers have pointed the same issue out.
Lol - your commentary style had me chuckling aloud on more than a few occasions, love it.
“…slow release, which is good in the bedroom…”, 😂
But in all seriousness, a well conceived and delivered video that cuts straight to the heart of matters, while being informative and objective at the same time.
Subbed ✌️
Love your review style!
Look like Fanatec is on to a winner.
csl dd basically thrashed whole mid range wheelbase market. I was aiming at osw or csl elite for some time, but i spent lots on my pc upgrades recently, so happy i didnt, and now i will be able to go straight from my t150 wheelbase to this one :)
Same here. Buy a 8020 rig and you’ll be set for life lol
@@MissedApproachMagpie i dont have much space, so my gt omega apex is perfect for me :)
Nah man thrustmaster would still be mid range king, because Fanatec still won't fking ship to asia
Awesome dude! Hopefully you bought the 8NM
@@christopheroconnor4665 yeah, i havent bought it yet, im going to when its available, no preorders :)
Genuine thanks, GM (no stirring this time ; ) - cos honestly - as a person that has to accept that they are on the LOWER END of the earnings scale, I always thought that the Logitech GXYZ Series was my only choice. But after this great Review, if I save hard enough - then this is a realistic option to improve my current setup. I just have to hope that FANATEC offer some nice "bundles' with this particular DD kit, over time... [:]-)
@@halfbreed02 well, sim racing "at the fanatec level" does get more expensive, your not inclined to spend that much. Fanatec is the only company with a dd wheel around these specs so they can basically choose the price if you know what I mean.
I love your videos very informative with twist of comedy!
Lol, informative and funny. You are my favorite reviewer. Keep up the good work
dude theres a constant 18k hz whistle on this video driving me crazy
Just counter whistle at 18khz
@@GamerMuscleVideos yeah I can also hear this.. its not nice :(
Ahh yes! I just happen to load this video up through my studio monitors... ouch
@@GamerMuscleVideos Unreal.
i wanted to watch the video. not anymore :'/
if i was new to sim racing i would get this , plus you will get most of your money back and more enjoyable experience
Cheers GM, I should have access to one in October, looking forward to testing out this DD malarkey. :)
It's nearly January now... so how was it?
Really enjoyed the use of the best word in the dictionary.....SHAFT
Used your affiliate link to buy the DD to support your amazing dream, seriously!
So it seems everyone who reviewed it agrees, the only that remains is to gather the moneys and order it to upgrade from the DFGT finally. Hopefully it will shave a second or two from my pace in powerful cars and maybe a couple of tenths on the MX5
pedals before wheel, if you arent doing both
@@jamesmccaul2945 it's a matter of confidence in high powered cars as i don't feel exactly what the car is doing i cannot push to the limit, unlike the mx5 which i do push on the limit hence only a tenth or two
@@Dylan-180 i have changed the pedals a few months ago, t3clm, before that it was impossible to drive GT3 cars, now I can drive them but not on the limit
Ruined my life today.
Bought a kit with the CSL DD, Pedals, Wheel and Rig.
My bank acccount has suffered today.
Cant wait to get it. The availability date is now January 2nd...
The wait will be hell.
I love your reviews, had a great laugh while learning about the product 😂👍 Keep it up
Decided it was finally time to upgrade from my 11 year old g27. I cannot wait. Especially with the v3 pedals!
I hope they make a bundle which includes the base, a wheel rim and pedals. The desk clamp should be included as well
Boy am I glad to tell you…
@@jayralta4735 And am I glad to see your comment. The price seems good as well considering that it's direct drive.
@@brzo. I didn't. I thought about it but then I realized that I don't play sim racing games that often and getting it would probably end up being a waste of money.
As soon as the PS4/5 compatible version is available to order I'm on it.
Its coming i do believe man
I did see a leaked photo of PS4/5 version although I have no clue when that will be available. Rim looks similar to the Thrustmaster TGTII rim which I’m just not a fan of… but then again, I’m still on a T150 so I’m sure I’d be thrilled to own it 😀
The drive hub would make it work on console, I use my Clubsport wheel in Pc mode across PS3/PS4/360/series x. Also lets you use ialogs hand brake or thrust master shifter on consoles with fanatec wheels. Super useful.
Great review GM as always. Only issue here in South Africa $349 = R15000 at advertised prices locally. I am gobsmacked at that price, it's 3X times the exchange rate. Will have to stick to the old Logitechs and Thrustmasters
Plus you only have like 4 hours a day you can play. With all the loadshedding I don't know how you can sim race 🤣
Can definitely confirm that MY CSW v2.5 has the same play in the ''quick release''
the best review so far, humorous but also substantive. By the way ... if you have both versions, maybe some competition to get one of them? : D I would love to see the difference to my T300
From this day on, I will forever refer to power supplies as "High Power Power Packs" or "Low Power Power Packs" based on their wattage. Legendary 😂
This video is hilarious, I am subscribing right away!
You had me at the last pro “100% attractive to Eastern European women”. Sold! Haha. Love the humor.
Using the "High-Power PowerPack" I get a very notable thud-like noise, when changing directions with the McLaren V2 rim. So there is some play in the rotational axis. The QR1 (as shown in this video) does that too, but not, when the sercuring screw is in. So what I had to do was, throwing another 100€ at fanatec for a QR1. After having experienced snapped pins on the McLaren V2, I felt, this was my only option. Well played fanatec. Well played.
Funny guy, love him and sim sarcasm!
I perceive the topic of rotating mass/inertia as fancy marketing (and as such, nonsense). It would make sense if the rim was free to spin but under normal conditions, the rim isn’t free spinning because it’s being held firmly in your hands. It means the FFB is felt by the resistance of your hands & arms. I could understand this argument if max torque were at Logitech levels. Moment of inertia is the engineering/physics term. The DD CSL has ample torque, even for rims with high moments of inertia (layman wording; heavy steering wheels).
1 you don't always hold firmly onto a wheel
2 you can literally feel the servo motor more with the lighter wheel rims ( as well as smaller diameter wheel rims obvously)
3 8nm is really quite week on the grand scheme of things from me experience you need at least 14+NM to make the wight difference between the fanatec rims effectively irrelivent to how that then effects the FFB feeling.
I have litrally used every wheel rim on the market with tons of DD wheels for different companies this is not some hyperthtical thing.
Teabags Inbound. I took the plunge DDeeper into the life of Balding Misery. Now just have to wait till November to feel my very first DD Girl
A T150 and a T300 gather dust in my storage room, and the CSL Elite will get there too in september. :)
are you in the usa? looking to buy a used t300 lol.
@@techbuildspcs Hungary, sorry... :)
@@lowfastracing All good, have a good day!
Top thumbnail, saved me watching the video 👍🏻
Great video gamer muscle like when you talked about the benfits of the dd base you said it really fast and sounded like the uk radio ads that you normally here haha was quite funny but got this bad boy on order myself 8nm power power pack never owned one before so look forward to getting it combined that with a formula v2 rim the one you showed off along with the new pedals that are coming out and the advanced paddle module too moving up from a 920 had that for about 2 years now so due for an upgrade not long to go now until release month had it on order since june :D And hopefully all goes on ok on my playseat standard evolution rig i have the silver one
mine didn't have the annoying sticker on it, I also noticed the power brick for the csw 2.5 and the boosted csl DD are the same except for the plug; kind of lame since I own both. CSL DD is so much better than my csw 2.5, its just so crisp
Will be getting this one once my Thrustmaster TX dies.
Thanks for the review. Great channel by the way.
Mines on order and can’t wait I’ve ordered with boost pack and I have already purchased clubsport V2 wheel. Think I’ll order the lighter mclaren wheel to compare.
This will replace my logi tech g920. Can’t wait to feel the difference!!!
cant wait to upgrade from my g27 i think its time and this is a perfect upgrade will have to wait awhile coz theyre gunna be sold out straight away
I wonder if I can keep my G27 pedals while using this new direct drive wheel? For example, I could have my G27 pedals connected to the G27 wheelbase and leave that wheelbase sitting on the floor out of the way, and in-game just move the direct drive wheel when assigning the controls, and move the G27 pedals. Or will I have to buy new pedals just because I'm upgrading my wheel?
@GamerMuscleVideos
Thanks for the video. This is the highlight of youtube for me today. The only problem is the fact you keep shaving the chimp and putting him on the screen.
Tea for life
Love your work! As always a great vid.
I'm waiting to see if Thrustmaster will bring a dd base out, though I could be along time waiting as there is no news on the horizon. There beginning to fall back here. Fanatec are throwing their name everywhere, advertising hard at all the top motorsports events
Crap! The last bullet point, about attracting Eastern European women won't work for me. I'm in the US. :(
Damn fine video Gamer Muscles! Straight and to the point. I guess my wife is going to be passed at the Fanatec RS wheel that is about to arrive at my house. Time to tell Fido to move over. LOL.
GREAT video!!
For anyone having issues with the CSL DD
* Not being able to calibrate the H-pattern mode of the SQ 1.5 shifter:
(1) Try with the short cable provided with the shifter.
(2) If unsuccessful, unmount the wheel base, hold it tightly between your legs and try with short cable.
** Wheelbase or steering wheel disconnects in driver page or FFB/buttons/pedals quit working in-game:
- on pc -
(1) Connect the wheelbase with a wheel mounted and turn it on.
(2) Open the driver page.
(3) If everything seems connected, tighten the black C-clamp on the wheelbase shaft a bit (or to 15Nm torque) and see if the issue persists
(4) If the issue persists or something shows to be disconnected: Loosen the black C -clamp on the wheelbase shaft till you can rotate it slightly without too much effort.
(5) Rotate the clamp gently till the driver page shows everything connected
(6) Tighten the black C-clamp on the wheelbase shaft a bit (or to 15Nm torque) and see if the issue persists
I've had both issues, where the disconnection issues got worse and worse till the both of my wheels showed disconnected permanently. And after a month of trying drivers/firmware/usb-ports etc. these solutions solved my issues.
*** On my initial fresh install of my CSL DD with Boost kit, the FFB was very weak. This was resolved quickly for me by uninstalling and re-installing the drivers again.
Awesome content! 🤘🏻
I didn't see a pie chart. DD wheel reviews need pie charts.
Actually imo my favorite dd wheel I've ever used. I liked it more then the dd1. It was smoother slightly more responsive and a bit quicker due to the carbon fiber shaft and the size. It's compact and perfect size. I just like everything about it. The 8nm with the boost kit feels more like a 10nm minimum it's why most yoyrubers are actually turning it down slightly when using it. For me it's plenty and I like servo dd motors more anyways. That's because of the smoothness and the way the ffb feels. There is a difference I can feel it but I'm sensitive to that stuff. I never use 15nm to 20nm 8 to 10nm is perfect for me ans I will be using the csl dd for my main lol 2 other honest yoytubers are saying the same as me also the ones not scared to hurt anyone's feelings. The ones nit worried about upsetting fanatec when they say they like it more more the dd1.
thanks great video
Most importantly does DD Girl Like It Gamer Muscle 😃
Certainly
Nice , what I like to hear .
Thanks for the video
Great review as usual Tea Bags! I wonder if my DD1 Power Pack would work with the Standard "Lower Power Power Pack" DD CSL Base? I wouldn't mind one as a spare.
I'd probably not try mixing power supplys with devices , might end up with an expensive firework display.
This is more than enough wheel for my needs. I don't sim race but would prefer a wheel over mouse/keyboard or controller options. Looking to use with games like Forza Horizon, Farming Simulator, Euro Truck Sim 2, American Truck Sim. Would be great if able to use when driving in GTA Online too but not sure if supported. Then further down the road (pun intended) if I decide to play AC or Project Cars I'd still have a decent wheel.
forza horizon is terrible with a wheel, the youtubers you see using a wheel have spent hours practicing, learning how to drive wrong just so they can use a wheel in forza horizon on youtube for views etc. maybe/ hopefully forza horizon 5 will have better wheel support/ physics/ ffb. but i wouldnt count on it, its an arcade game and those usually dont play nicely with wheels. i have a wheel (only a g29) but i always use a gamepad when playing forza horizon.
@@socks2441 ah good so it's not just me then XD kept messing with the settings for ages and I just couldn't figure it out for the life of me...
@@zwenkwiel816 same, i spent hours trying all the settings to see if any of them made it feel playable. i didnt succeed, so gamepad it is for horizon games.
You would say that .....Fanatec LOVER...................
Hey, GM. You might want to check the filtering in your audio. I'm sure most people won't hear it, but there's a gnarly ~17Khz tone playing throughout your video that makes it really hard to watch.
Yeah I came straight to the comments to see if anyone else was also hearing this. Made it quite hard to listen to the voiceover sections unfortunately.
His boomer ears probably cant hear it, I dont hear anything either
yeah I can't watch this, it's a piercing howl through the entire video
That sticker on the shaft. Come on Fanatec!
earned my sub and like funny vid and good info thanks :)
You need to check why you were picking up a really high frequency with your mic. The tone was really driving me nuts when I listened through my speakers.
oh my god it hurt so much lol I thought I was getting tinnitus
I didn't get anything through my headset
@@kevinobrien4155 Only got it through my speakers that has a separate tweeter. Headset didn't play it. It's really high up in the range.
starts at around 0:45 MAKE IT STOP
Its subliminal programming making everyone subscribe and like I set it up wrong you should not be able to hear it...
Its actually from my bloody USB hub if I dont have my hotas warthog throttle plugged in to the USB it causes it normally I notice it but for some reason i did not this time :( hopefully I have only given a few people hearing loss. Just treat it as training for being in the armed police force , you are now imune to flash bangs !
Can you do a 10 min video of you just saying "Low Power power pack and High Power power pack"?
3:12 - "dis-play" nice nod to Barry :D
@Gamermusclevideos are you sure this wasn't a CSL DD advert? Especially that super fast reading of which I didn't understand a word 🤣🤣(like the usual terms and conditions). Good vid though
Went for the thrustmaster ts-pc, only reason behind the decision is that the thrustmaster is available😅
thanks for the video :)
November is not that far, I keep telling myself.
I know what you mean 😅
Being a CSWv2 owner and not able to spend $2000aud on a DD1 I really hope Fanatec make a 9nm low power DD with 12nm boost kit soon at around $1200aud for the 12nm.
Great vid!! In the video, on the left, what brand is that button box?
Honestly how many people are going to buy many wheels, one or 2 at most is most likely the common perspective so having to put a screw in the quick release really isn't a issue, I'd just use one wheel and leave it on there
fanatec have done great with the csl dd, its a shame they have added yet another software where you can adjust settings, when i went from a DD1 to a simucube it became quite clear where fanatec stumbles a little and its the fact every component in the chain has its own software/firmware, fanalab isnt an integral part of the wheelbase so you can take it or leave it etc its all just a bit of a mess that they have improved for sure but would be nice if there was just one single firmware and its done, i suspect the mess of software is what causes software issues and failures for people... the flexing issue for the DD1/2 was a big one aswell and its interesting to see now with these reviews that them eliminating the rubber of the DD1/2 isn't fixing the problem so it really wasn't to cause afterall it really was just tolerances between the QR and wheel. the standard mode for FFB is actually very nice, wasn't part of the DD1 software when i had one but that's good if it is now, its a nice simucube feature and im glad its now part of the fanatec software... hopefully the almost game changing static force reduction filter also follows over from the simucube software much like the interpolation filter which was an almost direct copy of the force reconstruction filter the simucube bases were using.
its all good stuff, its what fanatec needs and shows the software is maturing albeit at a slow pace. good to see the csl dd kicks some ass.
Just letting you know that there is some sort of high pitched frequency coming from the entire video wherever there is sound. Im not sure if it is coming from your microphone or editing software, but it made me unable to continue watching as I was getting a headache. I double checked another video and it was fine so it does seem to be the video. Just a heads up, overall what I watched the video seemed great.
Its possible that some people may not be able to even hear the frequency due to the pitch, so if you don't notice it maybe that's why.
I was about to pre-order when this was announced but then of course Fanatec said it's not PlayStation compatible. A PS4/PS5 compatible version is coming later an that's the one I'm going to get because I don't want to use my old wheel just for Gran Turismo 7 next year.
Look Into the drive hub
A low temp heat gun should be used to peel off stickers..if you want to do it much easier and cleaner...
Perfect review…
Proper content.
i like deedees and effeffbees, A LOT!
1:50 Say no more! I'm all in!l
Really want one, but I need it to work with PS5 and PC ( and series X as well, but not as important). Or at least work with my DriveHub on ps5, like my t300 with csl elite lc pedals
Great vid GM should be better with QR2
Everything will be better with QR2. Except my 918R.
They seem to have fixed the issue of the annoying sticker in the wheel base. Mine came off super easily.
Nice one GM!
Hi there. Which wheel are you using? It looks great! Regards, Gernot
Great review - any additional details regarding when the CS DDL for Playstation will be available?
people giving a thumbs down for this have no life...and certainly take themselves much too seriously 😂
Friendly reminder these are hugely discounted right now!! Must be purchased with a wheel and pedal, any combo you choose gets you the CSL dd for 195$
Trigger pulled... using your link.
Keep up the good work... watching yourself and Malone on Twitch is an absolute pleasure, especially if you're both in the same race...
It would be hilarious if Logitech releases a DD wheel+pedals combo that looks exactly like their usual wheel and pedals, but with DD inside, all for $300.
Man you log onto youtube and every channel has this wheel all the sudden, one might almost think they gifted 200 of them out for advertising :p
Companies always have X amount of devices they send out to reviewers as part of there marketing budget and then there is normally an embargo date as well so everyone then does videos all at the same time.
I would throw out my t300 setup if I could buy the base+lc pedals and rim. Perfect upgrade bundle...but will they?
