maybe...

Health issues associated with acetone exposure include:

Headaches
Confusion
Nausea
Racing pulse
Changes in blood cells

and if you huffed enough, lighting up a smoke while riding might cause the fire.


my point was about damaging the outer finish on expenive CF rims... paint remover is made to ruin paint.. clear coating is PAINT.
