yeah, that's why after warming up on my clinchers for a race, i pulled out my sewups out of the hot car and they were definitely not ridable as the glue was very soft and the tire would have rolled for sure on the first corner

pros also occassionally roll tubulars on steep descents in races like the tour de france from overheating the rims
