How will you mount your “6 x 70mm” PCD QR hub to your Fanatec DD2? And how does the Simucube 2 Pro work? A lot of the mainstream wheelbase manufacturers have a unique way of fitting QR to the wheelbase, so you’ll need an adapter to get started (most likely!). If you’re not sure which QR hub might suit your Fanatec, Simucube, Logitech, Simagic or OSW MiGE wheelbase, read on or follow the links below: The steering wheel feels much closer to me than I expected. 1.5″ in increased offset is actually quite a lot. It’s OK and I’m going to attempt to get used to it. The main issue I found is that now it requires quite a reach to actuate the signal and wiper stalks on the steering column. I’m aware some guys modify those and bend them a bit closer. For now, I’ll get used to them as they are. The GT Pro Hub by SIMAGIC features a “zero compromise” approach to build quality. The button plate and hub combination consist of a carbon front plate and CNC-machined aluminium housing, as most of them do! The entire structure is robust, durable, and flex-free, offering no compromises when it comes to you being faster.

If you’re dealing with a complete sim steering wheel then clearly the XBOX One hub won’t be for you, but if you don’t fancy the expense of the Fanatec Podium hub, try the Fanatec Emulator from SRM. Sim Racing Machine’s Fanatec Wheel Emulator Most sim racers own Fanatec equipment, usually the CSL DD, DD1 or DD2 direct drive wheels or the earlier CSL series belt drive wheels. Compatibility on the Fanatec wheel side is taken care of by the Podium Hub – you can see the “wheel side” facing you in the picture below: Fanatec Podium Hub offers a 50mm or 70mm PCD fitment to mount pretty much any wheel to a Fanatec wheelbase.If you know your wheel fitment and you’re looking for the best hub to mount your wheel, jump to these links below: The Simucube wheelbases come with an SQR hub supplied. The SQR hub kit will accommodate any 50.8mm or 70mm PCD wheel (the wheel side mount is tapped with M5 threads. Simucube 2 Pro with SQR hub (wheelbase side) attached The SRM emulator makes the Fanatec wheelbase think that a Fanatec wheel rim is attached, thus enabling FFB. It’s compatible with the Podium DD1 and DD2, Fanatec CSW all versions 1, 2 and 2.5 and the older CSL / CSL Elite wheelbases.

With some careful thought it’s easy to match one end to the other: match the wheel to the hub, match the hub to the adapter. The adapter fits the wheelbase and you can get going! Mounting Fanatec wheels on non-Fanatec wheelbases The kyostar QR system will fit with a little bit of modification. There’s a handy guide on how to achieve this in the owners’ group on facebook, which i’ll also link in the description below. For those of you interested in this wheelbase, this group is a good resource to hear from the people who actually own these devices. The unit comes with preset PIT / LED-based RPM lights incorporating nine LEDs and 8 Customizable buttons, 2 thumb rotary encoders on the sides for easy accessibility, and 2 RGB encoders for TC and ABS. All of the lights are fully programmable via the latest Simagic software: SimPro Manager IKERS.My only gripe with the Fanatec Podium hub is that it doesn’t have the tuning button to modify wheel settings while you’re driving. That’s why, when I’m mounting a rim only (for example if I’ve bought an OMP, Sparco or MOMO wheel rim) I’d always choose the ClubSport Steering Wheel Universal Hub for XBOX ONE. The Ascher adapter will allow a 70mm or 50mm bolt pattern item to mount directly onto the Simucube shaft from which you can attach any QR hub or spacer directly to the wheelbase. Simucube 2 Pro with SQR mount removed to reveal unique 3-hole mount (non-standard, non-PCM) Mounting a Cube Controls wheel to a Logitech Wheelbase There are pin headers provided in the emulator for “limited” wheel functionality, so you could connect the setup button individually if you were technically inclined. Of course, going this route would mean that the wheel you’re mounting would always need to be connected to your PC via USB to have the full functionality of the wheel. Mounting to a Simucube Wheelbase

So in the case of 6 x 70mm PCD, we’re saying there are 6 bolts placed on a diameter of 70mm. And just so you know, most of the time those are M5 (5mm) bolts! Match the steering wheels to the hub to the adapter

To take an early wheel such as a Formula Clubsport Fanatec wheel out of the Fanatec ecosystem, you’re going to need a USB conversion. As Fanatec wheels use the Fanatec QR hub to connect the wheel as a game controller, you will need to convert the wheel to a USB device with this board from Leo Bodnar. Fanatec USB conversion (pre-soldered) fits neatly into existing pins on the board Steering wheel bolt patterns are relatively standard, in that there are very few to choose from – and they’re influenced heavily by competition steering wheel manufacturers such as MOMO, Sparco and OMP who use the “6 x 70mm” PCD bolt pattern. The Pro hub from Simagic is really a button plate and hub intended for Simagic Direct Drive wheels only, as it features a Simagic-specific hub. If, for example you’d like to mount your favourite rim on a Simagic wheelbase, something like this would work: Simagic GT Pro Hub and QR featuring carbon paddles, QR hub and plenty of assignable controls.
