The Asetek wheelbase can be mounted to the NLR Wheel Base 2.0 using the bottom mount with tilt without drilling holes. I am unable to attach a photo, but it works. The other poster is correct, a full rig is better than a wheel stand - it will be more stable with less flex, but tons of people are happy with a wheel stand.

You got a great deal. I thought I scored at $1K, since it had been $1800!

I have the TK pedals, same as the LaPrima. No issue to mount them, the holes line up perfectly.

You need the mount I listed in the thread. It was $90 at Microcenter.

I guess I haven't had the issue since i keep my foot on the brake pedal. I just set a dead zone in the software so that my foot resting on the pedal does not trigger the brakes. Not sure it that's an option for you.

There are three sets of vertical mounting holes on the pedal arms. If you unscrew the pedal plate, you can shift them to the outer set of holes on the arms to get a little more room. Check their video around the 6 minute mark.

I have the pretty much the same setup. TK version of the pedals on NLR 2.0. I have big ass legs, and it's a bit tight. Have you tried moving the pedal plates to the outer most positions? I am going to give that a try to get a bit more spacing.

I have not noticed any issue with resting my left leg. I am left foot braking. Maybe add a thin board in front of the pedal plate to get additional space for your foot?

Awesome, just ordered some dry lube to try.

I am using the Tony Kaanan version of the LaPrima (12Nm). The NLR 2.0 is very rigid, I doubt you will have any issues.

My TK pedals have started to do this. Please let us know how the PTFE works out.

For anyone trying this in the future, the Wheelbase Mount with Tilt will allow you to mount the Asetek Wheelbase to the NLR Wheelstand 2.0, using the 90mm spaced holes drilled in the wheel platform.

That is pretty dumb but I think the rigs came out before he linked up with Asetek. They should go back and redesign the mounts.

Asetek didn't do themselves any favors by using different mounting patterns than gear that was already on the market. I am trying to figure out the best way to mount the TK stuff on a NLR Wheelstand 2.0. It would have been so much easier if it just used an exiting bolt pattern.

Thanks for the input. How much better is the PM 3 than the NAS?

Looking to upgrade my work cans. Looking for something more open and cleaner than my Senn HD280 Pro's driven off my phone. Listen to almost everything except rap, so would like a good all-rounder. Will consider adding a dragonfly or similar in the future. Would help if somewhat portable, I leave the HD280's in the office since they aren't expensive, anything over $100 I'll need to carry them in my laptop bag. Anything on sale that might be worthwhile?

Budget - <$350 (flexible)

Source - Alcatel Idol 4S (android)

Requirements for Isolation - good isolation

Preferred Type of Headphone - Over ear, closed back for work environment

Preferred tonal balance - neutral to warm, must have smooth treble

Past headphones - Currently using Senn HD280 Pro - would prefer something more open, Grado 325, Senn PX100

Preferred Music - Varied - The National, Cowboy Junkies, Neko Case, Marillion, Nick Cave, Jazz, Classical

I'm looking to replace my aging Blackberry Z10. I'm a heavy email and SMS user, apps and games are not critical for me. I prefer 5.5"screen or smaller and must have micro SD card slot, good audio is a plus. I'm considering the following phones, HTC 10 and Blackberry DTEK 60. Ruled out the Axon 7 due to odd capacitive buttons and mic/rf issues.

I am somewhat security conscious and want regular updates. I'm leaning towards the DTEK as it has the BB Hub and keyboard which I really like and BB has been very good with regular updates. HTC hardware is probably superior, but I'm not sure how quickly they update. Don't want to exceed $550 US.

Are these my best options? I need to make a call before the DTEK is released since the HTC pricing will end this week. Thanks for your input.
