Yeah, but everyone smokes in France, it's no big deal.
Doing a 30% off Cader Idris in Wales last year there was nasty smells coming from everyone's rims. I pathetically stopped to walk a section because I was worrying about melting the tire. A little justification came when I was talking to one of the Macc Wheelers a couple of months later who said he had a puncture about a week later and had to cut the tire off the rim with a stanley knife and throw it out with the inner which was welded to it.
