Sim Racing - Keep your chair still without a rig

- Here's a low effort, quick overview on castorless castors. An invention I wish I knew about before I tried gaffa taping my castors over and over again to keep them fixed. Short and sharp but it'd have saved me buckets of time had I watched this months ago.

We searched for this. It wasn't in our recomended
In my case, the gaming chair I purchased 2 years ago had available "locking" casters as an option. They basically lock in place from the weight of sitting in the chair. Works like a charm for me! I would hope that generic casters like that are available for most rolling office chairs, assuming the size of the pin is the same on most of them.
What chair you got?
An even more ghetto solution.
Take a pair of old shoes with rubber soles and put the two "back" wheels into them. After a bit of adjustment, it is surprisingly solid (at least for the potentiometer pedals).
Holy shit that is genius, hold up let me get my grippy kyrie 7s real quick
Bhartiya Jugaad 💀
Damn. Now I feel like I have no brain. Thanks.
Have to try this out! Cheers, mate!
You're a fuckin genius
Why is this not in my recommended UA-cam? Damn that was HELPFUL!!!
Holy heck dude thank you. I just moved to a new place with wooden floors no now my pedals don’t move, but my chair does. Will definitely be getting these. I was thinking if picked up a full rig from where I work. Now I can put that off for longer.
Did you order them? If so did they work for you? As im in the same situation xD
Watched, ordered a set of gliders, changed my life. THANKS!
For those interested they are generally called 'glide castors'
Thank u 🤣
The issue is that it will still rotate. The rotation on my chair is VERY smooth and effortless... so any sort of force pressing on the pedals will rotate me away from the pedal like I'm pushing off the wall.
have you found a solution for this yet? only problem i’m facing 😭
@@mvterivlistic There's a company that sells a cylinder with a rotation lock, but I'm sure it's a specific fit for their chairs. Monstertech makes them, and it's specifically oriented towards flight sim and race sim applications. Besides this, I don't think there are any elegant solutions, but there are some jank solutions, like strapping your chair's armrests to the legs of your desk to prevent rotation that way.
@@TakeNoShift i don't even play racing/flight simulator games and the chair rotation on my T3 RUSH Corsair bugs the hell out of me. i've been looking for a solution. I think i'm just going to buy a chair of monstertech. I'm afraid to risk if the cylinder will not be applicable to this chair i'm using
i was milliseconds from losing my mind thank you
I'm late to this, but it's still relevant. I have hard floors so didn't want think stem casters would work. So I just put gaffa/duck tape round the wheels (horizontally, so they don't go under the base). Solid as a rock! My chair tips over before it slides.
I tried the same thing you did - taped it up, but found the tape eventually got munched up in the wheels anyway. I didn't know stem castors were a thing at the time, if I did I could've saved myself the bother! Hence this video
The tape thing is really an improvement,i was surprised, thank you man,
how do you guys keep your chair from rotating?
Hi Danny i know you have switched to a rig now, i'm going to buy these stem casters but did you find your chair rotating much when using the pedals? Can't test everything as my DD and gear hasn't arrived yet, thanks for the great advice.
I never found the chair rotating to be much of an issue, it was always the rolling back that caused the trouble for me. Sorry not to have anything clever to advise for that!
Need to get some
Great idea! Never knew these were a thing. How do you stop the chair from swiveling tho?
you'll have to mess with the chair itself probably
do you know how to fix a chair that keeps spinning by itself because the past 2 chairs I had both spins by itself If I sit on it
Hi, this comment is 2 years ago so I'm guessing you don't have this issuea anymore.
But I'll comment for anyone else experiencing the same thing.
If this happens then the chair is uneven, so either something in your chair is bent or crooked, or the floor is crooked.
Thanks so much!!
Thank you 🎉
I’ve been sticking the front of my sandals behind the wheels lol
The croc-stop
Thanks for the Great video . But how to you prevent it from rotating ? It has been my biggest issue
Dont tell me that you've also buyed a car and then you're trying to make it fly...if u buy a chair like this, u have to deal with consequences. Just use a kitchen chair or sit on the floor. =/
@@aprendercomodoni8958 did you comment here trying to be of any help ... ??
Hahahahahhahahah
Are you using load cell pedals? Is this enough to keep you from sliding even with Load Cell strength?
Yes, I used Fanatec V3s with brake performance kit with the stem castors, did a good enough job!
I put some slippers under the wheels of the chair to stop it from moving ahahah
"Anyone seen granny's bunny slippers?"
chair is now good for sim racing but not for a normal use ;o]]
not good enough
Do you have a link to what you bought?
Google it....oh hang on, that won't be your kinda thing
Here's what I got: amzn.to/3jt5PX9
@@dannyleeracing thanks. I bought another set that didn't work very well which is why I asked.
@@dannyleeracing rofl hahha
What about the annoying swive?
I don't know how these work for anyone. I tried them and instead of rolling backwards I just started tilting backwards.
It's probably the chair is too 'tall and skinny' - try a different chair with a more squat base and less height
Also known as bell casters
thanks so much I couldn't find when when I looked for casters with no wheel
simple solution put a yoga mat at the bottom of the chair
Namaste
but i dont have carpet floor?
Rubber pads!
bruh imma just buy a new chair cuz this one I bought for like 20 bucks not worth it
How bout swivel locks that can be set to on or off while sitting in chair. Chair designers are un-imaginative, monkey see monkey do lot!
