Total Bummer....


Not long ago this evening I received this picture message from a fellow that raced at Kruger's. There used to be a Fango on that bling Easton carbon wheel. That sucks man.

That poor guy. I wonder if he rushed his gluing technique? Got cat litter embedded between surfaces? My sources tell me that those are just decals covering a Neuvation rim, btw.

Thats funny...sources tell me that has been known to sabatage his own wheels so that he would have an excuse to cover his performances on occasion.

Cat litter, hmmm...or maybe it was the cow stuff littered in that arena that did it. Toxic stuff that was.

Here's an interesting article analyzing the adhesive qualities of different glues. Vittoria Mastik is clearly the way to go with carbon fiber, yet Mastik and Conti are very similar on aluminum rims. I'll bet this guy used Conti glue.
