eddy Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 this is why I drive a volvo with its eco friendly bullsh*t downwards facing exhaust system - who cares about the planet - I was just worried about my cosmics They are Enves, but I have never encountered anyone who so speaks my language...... besides which, the new XC90 is a very lekker car.
Skinnyone Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 It is not just carbon rims that can be affected, I have seen Alu rims also damaged due to exhaust heat...

V12man Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 They are Enves, but I have never encountered anyone who so speaks my language...... besides which, the new XC90 is a very lekker car for girls.Fixed it for you...
Long Wheel Base Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Sorry for your unfortunate loss. But this is why you should have joined bikehub loooong ago. It's happened to a fortuner drivers as well.Hope you come right with the insurance.
droo Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Seen it happen on a Porsche Cayenne too. Both wheels though, cos 2 exhausts...
Grogs Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Sad thing with these incidents is that they invariably happen when your bike is brand new (i.e. the first time you are transporting it).
PhilipV Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Seen it happen on a Porsche Cayenne too. Both wheels though, cos 2 exhausts...If it is the same case I heard of one of the guys in the car was a bike shop owner too...
Lone_Ranger Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Seen it happen on a Porsche Cayenne too. Both wheels though, cos 2 exhausts...I knew there was a good reason not to buy a Porsche Cayenne , besides the million ZAR price tag
Hairy Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Seen it happen on a Porsche Cayenne too. Both wheels though, cos 2 exhausts...you sure it was not just and excuse so that the person could upgrade to the next best rims .... or was that your car :
eddy Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 And my boet toasted his brand new Racing Ralph a few years ago on his Land Cruiser heading for his December holiday. No riding for a few days until he could get hold of someone else's discard. So, be careful. Even if it is not hot enough to toast a rim, it can still damage your wallet and ruin your holiday.
Pure Savage Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Surely insurance would have covered this? Yeah, been happening for yonks, need to just get a deflector or bend
