How do you tell if you’re in trouble with rims about to overheat?
thanks
When the brake pads glaze over, you can hear and smell the off gassing. At that point you're losing braking capacity, and its a sign you need to get off the brakes, or get off the bike.
Another sign is simply to touch the rims. If they're so hot you can't hold a finger against them, they're likely hot enough to create the risk of a blow out. U nortunately, you pretty much have to get off the bike to do this test.
