Apparantly the Elite CXs play Nice With the Aeros of my frame. Piss about the rattling though. Cheers for the link and heads up.
Its not out'n'power. Its heating of the brake surface. Or rather lack of heat loss. This softens the epoxy binder. Which unfortunately is also, at the same time, under 110 psi from the clincher tyre. So the bead gets pushed out. At best ruining further braking. At worst, explosively ejecting the tyre.
On tubulars you can bury the pads in Your rims, every apex. All that happens is that the heat build up makes the pads grabby. I've tried peeling off a tubular tyre when my rims are at epic temps. The glue (conti carbon specific. Horrible stuff to use) still held them solidly.
Anyway this is a clinchers v tubulars derail. Sorry about that.
