Simjack Pro Pedals - 6 month Update and New Elastomers
Channel: Melv
Date: 2023-12-03

A quick update on the Simjack Pro Pedals after 6 months. 
Hardware is working well but the stock elastomers gave in after 4 months. 
This video show me testing the various elastomers available from Hawkeng via Amazon.

I prefer a softer/longer pedal so went for the 45a version which i think are around 10% harder than stock elastomers. I have been using these now for 2 months and no issues to report.

Watch until the end to see a visual comparison of pedal travel between the grades tested.

As an example: (opinion)
38a - very soft, useful if you do not have a secure rig for pedals
45a - Similar to original (10% harder i suspect)
55a - Good for most, reduces pedal travel a little more
69a - Hard - OK if you like stiff pedal and maybe use shoes/heel plate
85a - Very hard


If you go decide to try the Hawkeng elastomers, you may also need some larger
diameter washers to compensate for the higher diameter elastomers (Original 25mm/New 32mm)
I have been using nylon versions that Hawkeng also provide.
