Ah, good to know. At the Championship, we were trying to come up with a quick fix for an encoder disk (previous wheel had a piece of retro reflective tape on the hub) and discovered that the wheels are really tough to work with.

See this website for more details.

We had no issue attaching a piece of adhesive backed retro reflective tape to the surface of this wheel. The main thing we needed to do was point the sensor towards the wheel at a 45 degree angle so that we wouldn't get reflection off our aluminum hub.

That's weird, we couldn't get our retroreflective tape to stick to the urethane part(s) of the wheel at all. As we were trying to come up with a solution, we played around with a sharpie, a saw (trying to cut some of the surface to make a 'different' patch), an open flame (outside), and a few other things before finally settling on a piece of card stock with a strip of retro reflective tape. This worked well enough through the CMP, but we ended up replacing the cardboard discs with a purpose built plastic part before our first offseason.

Wasn't a good portion of this strip on the metal hub itself?
