Heat, burst the plastic inner tubes and the broken carbon rims.

Can you explain this? Literally the tube expanded in the heat and blew the rim apart? Or the tube exploded in the heat and took the rim with it? Mental either way.

I had a Tubolito explode rather dramatically before, thankfully outside a wheel but I can see how it could damage a rim quite easily.

Was going downhill, breaking heated the tube - this popped the inner tube then i was riding on the rims before that broke from the weight of the front bag.
