Re: Adhesive, Brecoflex, Rubber, and M17

Rule M17 prohibits just about everything, it seems.

It seems that per M17, we're allowed to attach additional material to the outer surface of wheels that we manufacture ourselves.

However, it also seems like the easiest way of attaching such materials - screws - risks disqualification. Screw heads may be considered to be studs or cleats.

So, the only other solution I can immediately think of is gluing stuff down to the wheel's rim. In that case, can anyone recommend adhesive that will withstand the rigor of competition? Does anyone have any experience with gluing tread material in place rather than screwing it down?

In particular, I'm examining the popular Brecoflex-style belting, the belting we used last season (with a fiberglass backing), and neoprene rubber.

Mcmaster-Carr sells Neoprene Rubber Strips with an adhesive backing. Is it likely that this adhesive is strong enough to adhere the rubber to our wheels?

I'm going to go ahead and order some of it and test it myself, but I was just curious what other experience people had with adhesives and traction materials.

yes on the adhesive question, we did it klast year...
