You could, for instance, cut a thudbuster ST elastomer to the correct size. (durometer rates: x-soft ( #1 ) = 39, soft (#3) = 46, medium (#5) = 54, firm ( #7 )= 61, X-firm ( #9 )= 68 )
If I remember rightly the Pantour had two hardness of elastomer, 40A and 50A, 40A being the standard.
Thanks Chagzuki. Honestly, I think I've given up on the Pantour technology. I don't really care to have compression on the front. I just want consistency so my brakes work 100% of the time.

Does anybody know where to get WheelSport wheels? I've been doing some research and they look really nice.
