DamianW Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Hi all I am looking for a photo of a carbon rim / wheel which was damaged by the heat from a car exhaust. If you do have one, please post it.

DamianW Posted August 21, 2019 Author Posted August 21, 2019 Thanks guys.... .the video is very good and it does clarify that it was exactly what happened.
Dieter! Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Thule Xpress 2 VS Cayenne exhaust. Afterwards, the rack was modified so the bike sits level and away from the heat. Insurance paid out no problem.
