NJB.... we clearly differ.
Your system clearly works WELL for you!
However, are you saying that there COULD NOT be a set of long hubs out there which DON'T improve your times in the wet?
My experience is that, like everything ELSE in karting, one 'item' (e.g., carb, set of brakes, set of wheels, set of hubs, etc.) can give ONE reaction whereas another 'item' that may be made by a DIFFERENT company (whatever) may give a different reaction. The wheels themselves are a CLASSIC: one make may do X and another make can do almost the OPPOSITE of Y!
My second question would be, what IS it about the long hubs which you think, helps? Do they stiffen the axle, make the wheels flex, etc., or do you just stick at the empirical answer of: 'well, the ones I used worked for US'. There's nothing wrong with THAT answer; just a different approach. Yours has produced more winners!
We agree COMPLETELY about the testing method! Not a millimetre between us on that one! "Test, test, test again" has ended up as a 'catch phrase' and not set of instructions on HOW to test! It started by meaning 'test THIS thing, then test THAT thing and then test ANOTHER thing!' That sounds like your approach too; except, perhaps, you'd spread those tests over 3 days.
