Headshot Posted May 2, 2023 Share Go back to alu rims at a fraction of the cost. You wont notice the difference for more than 3 rides anyway... How is carbon waste dealt with again? MORNE , dasilvarsa, Ispeed_V and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is carbon waste dealt with again? For the most, with great difficulty. However, SILCA chops it up, bakes off the resin and then adds the chopped strands to their sealant (SILCA Ultimate Sealant w/FiberFoam). Apparently it works really well, just can't buy it locally . I would not mind trying to do something similar with the aforementioned rim. Edited May 2, 2023 by WIPEOUT 1000 Headshot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is carbon waste dealt with again? You can use carbon waste in your sealant to block them big holes. Need to chop it up with a side cutter to make bits of carbon fibers of 2mm to 5mm long mixed. 1 level Tablespoon per Tyre. Then gooi in the Tyre with 125ml of your favourite fresh local sealant.

Trashy Posted May 2, 2023 Share Looking forward to seeing "lightly used carbon rim" for sale in the classifieds soon... Â Sorry OP, that does really suck. Over the long weekend I passed many a car where the exhaust looked way too close to a bicycle wheel. mikkelz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I just need some carbon fiber waste to chop up   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incubit_frame_services Posted June 7, 2023 Share Hi Scott,  this is repairable.  I've repaired a set of ENVE hoops with worse heat damage than this.  I took a chance as I though they were toast but I got them perfectly back in shape.  Have a look at the before and after.  Give me a shout at 0718903187 if you're keen on a quote.  Check out the rest of my work at https://instagram.com/incubit_frameservices?igshid=MmIzYWVlNDQ5Yg== Fred van Vlaanderen and 100Tours 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shld work. The problem is not while driving, the exhaust gas disperses. The problem is when you stop to pay tolls etc. etc. when there is no wind. The Exhaust gas just stays at the exit of the pipe and gets hotter and hotter which is worse on a Turbo Diesel but can happen on a petrol as well.

Thank you for explaining, Connected a bent pipe anyway as I wasnt trusting the distance btw the exhaust outlet and my carbon rim/tyre. I have seen a few of these mishaps B4, ouens pitching up at a race with burnt tyre or rim or both. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
