Have you given any thought to adding vanes or fins to the hub to key into the "body" of urethane? Not making any claims that they should be there, but they would reduce the propensity for the urethane to shear off the hub. Fine line, of course, as too much would reduce the elasticity and absorbtion of the urethane.
