I would think that carbon rims would conduct heat less than alloy. Sure, braking not as good, but perhaps not heat up as much? Either way, at speed, I would think that surface would cool very quickly when you ease up on the brakes.

Perhaps the OP was running clinchers on a nonhooked rim.

I have a hard time believing that the tube temps could reach 100ºC and double max rated pressure.
