Asetek Carbon Paddles Kit: Installation Guide

Quick answer

Install the Asetek Carbon Paddles Kit by removing your existing paddles, aligning the carbon units, and securing them with the supplied hardware. The hall sensor ensures snappy input without contact wear.

Installation steps

1. Remove the existing paddles: Unplug the wheel from power and detach the current paddle assembly by unscrewing the mounting bolts. Keep the bolts for reuse if the new kit does not include replacements. Common mistake: forgetting to unplug the wheel can cause accidental input during removal.
2. Align the carbon fiber paddles: Place the new carbon input paddle on the left side and the shifter paddle on the right. Ensure the hall sensor cable faces the wheel hub and is not pinched. Check that the sensor cable is routed away from moving parts before tightening.
3. Secure the paddles: Hand-tighten the mounting bolts evenly, then torque to the manufacturer's specification (typically 2–3 Nm). Over-tightening can crack the carbon fiber. Use a torque wrench; the carbon material is strong but brittle under excessive force.
4. Connect the hall sensor: Plug the sensor connector into the wheel base port. Listen for a click to confirm full insertion. Tug gently to verify it is locked. A loose connection causes intermittent paddle response. Double-check the click.
5. Test the paddles: Reconnect power and open your sim racing software. Map the paddles to desired functions (e.g., shift up/down, clutch). Cycle through each paddle to confirm registration. If a paddle does not register, recheck the sensor connection and paddle alignment before troubleshooting software.
