Burning?
Today I was getting a strong burning smell from my cans (carbon fibre). Is this something I should be worrying about?
Thanks |

rason I ask is that most race cans blow out their packing over time, and that can leave the caron vulnerable to scorching and ultimately burning up. But that shouldn't really happen after 500 miles.
