IsoSpeed Toptube rubber maintenance

IsoSpeed Toptube rubber maintenance

After about 2000km I had checked on the Top Tube IsoSpeed rubber and found it had moved a few millimeters to the left. I had gentle removed the rubber piece and added a double sided tape so that it will hold much better than before. Many of my SLR pals have experience the loss of the rubber piece after a few hundred kilometers. I feel that a better design should be to design the rubber as a grommet type of mount that can be inserted into a small hole so that it does not move OR a ring should be added as an anchor to the IsoSpeed bolt for secure positioning and to prevent it from falling off during very bumpy rides.
