[simpits-tech] Save the spare change...

[Marv De Beque]

Real pedals require about 100 lbs. to push the pedal 0.600" in any one
direction  (left or right).

Do these pedals have the same force requirements?


Oh, toe brakes require 40 to 45 lbs to fully depress.

I am curious if they captured that aspect of the design?
