What's wrong with mastik one?
On the track: higher losses (rolling resistance) and less security. Don't underestimate the safety needs. That is why almost all track disallow tape and I know of at least one track that forbids the use of standard road mastics as well. Anyone who has seen a tyre explode on the track knows why..
On the road: the losses are not of any consequence and the ability to remove a tyre and mount a new one is important. Mastik One (and Conti glue) are about as strong as one can get a bond that still allows for non-destructive removal. For the road I would not wholly discount the new "Magic Mastic".. I have not yet to test it but would not hesitate to (just have enough mastics and cements in my toolkit, whence little motivation to purchase)

Yes, but seeing as I don't have a pit bitch or personal mechanic, it's ME who is going to be cleaning my rims... I don't really fancy having to angle grind basetape and leftover rubber off my rims every time I change tyres.
Mastik one, properly applied, seems to give adequate hold. My experience with conti carbon glue is not the same (though the alu-specific one hasn't killed me yet). Mastik one it is.
