The question I have is around the solvents people use with a
composite disk wheel (tubulars, naturally). The first (and
last) time I mounted the tire I used a "paint thinner" type
liquid. I was very careful with it and it didn't appear to
harm the wheel, but it still scares me.
Any suggestions?

The epoxy used in most composite lay-ups is very tough stuff. If
you don't flood the composite are with potent stuff, you should be OK.
(The epoxy is so tough, you have problems getting paint to adhere to
it. Drop by my place some time and I'll show you some examples.)

Thanks Chris. I was just a little nervous sinking that kind of money
into the wheel and getting up the next morning to find it peeling or
melting or something...
Thanks Again,
Chip
