NOT slim. U6755, so i am fully behind big red on this issue!

whats more in the sv2 manual set up sheets tom cockerill and loyd storry both list cut or stagger rib on MED wheels, so please tell me they are wrong too! (mind you i supose it "keeps them racing" at the top of the pile!!)

I think you may have misunderstood my comment. I did not list U6755 for that very reason because as no doubt you are aware the U6609 Mini Pin (Slim) tyre has a higher tyre wall profile than the “Stagger” tyres and so you do not have the same problem as when you try to fit/stretch the "low profile" U6592 Stagger Rib (Slim) tyre or the U6759 Cut Stagger (Slim) tyre onto a Medium Rim.
With regards to your comment on SV2 set ups - bit of a faux pas here regarding Tom Cockerill’s set ups:- EIR - Tom Cockerill – Front slim with Stagger, EPR – Tom Cockerill – Front Slim with Stagger and EOS – Tom Cockerill – “Front Wheels - Revlite/ Front tyre – Hand out/ Front Insert – Schumacher Medium “. Although it does not state a Medium Rim Tom had to use the Medium Rim because dBoots were the control tyre for this event in Belgium (as per the excellent report on oOple March 10 2012 by jimmy) . As you may or may not be aware the inner diameter of a dBoots 2WD front tyre (60mm) is larger than the diameter of a Schumacher U3766 Slim Front Wheel Rim (57mm) and this is why Tom had to use the Medium Front Wheel Rim as it has a larger diameter of 60mm. So Tom did not use a Schumacher Slim Stagger tyre on a Medium Rim for this event.

With regards to Lloyd Storey and his set up for Indoor Carpet – Front Wheels – Revlite Medium with Stagger Rib – INTERESTING. Will have to check this out next week when he is racing at the club.
