    Glued rubbers are the way to go.

    That doesn't sound right.

    LocTite clear silicone did the job for me. Despite doing it's job and holding the rubbers in place, it's not terrible difficult to peel off when you refnish the wheels or buy new rubbers to install.

    could also solve any potential tire issues by having an extra stop in there..

    The TZ 250 got cush drives right and made them come off the wheel with the sprocket all in one piece.

    Did I miss anything about the superbike M4 lineup yet? Kinda hoping Paasch gets his ride back, but would be cool to see a moto 2 rider come in like Canet.

    He's held that position for ten years, so I suppose you think Wayne Rainey is clueless too?

    Nope. Not at all. I've been in the MA paddock since 2018. I listen to every off track podcast. I watch and listen to every post race press conference, , I read every MA article and press release, and I have a good relationship with a lot of the MA staff. If it had to with anything other than superbike, the guy was lost. Sorry but a person in his postion should have intricate knowledge of the riders and teams in the paddock, and he certainly did not. I don't know how many times he would write a piece and post it on the MA website and there were errors. How hard is it to go on the MA website and look at the results page and spotcheck your work?

    Ehhh I'm not a fan of the "spec tire racing league" this racing era has become.

    A level playing field wasn't enforced at the D200 as other tire brands (not Dunlop) did win it.

    Pirelli does have BSB, WSBK and now MotoGP racing series in 27.

    The idea that everyone being on the same mfg tire creates "fair racing" is not something I subscribe to. Its racing...not a fairness platform.
