the reason i ask is during a 15 minute main (using 2400mah!!) i stopped at 6 minutes, and every 2 minutes after that to check. at around 10 minutes it read this temp and i was like "o damn thats close to the threshold!" anyway, i didnt want to give up, so i went a little slower and it came back 68C and at the end of the race it was 62? any suggestions on why this could have happened? it was rolling free when i brought it in (checked to make sure) and power seemed the same. (e.g. alot)
would gearing up help at all? (running 13t with 1512 2D with a heavyish hyper 8.5) or gearing down? thanks for your help and sorry this isnt exactly th e best spot to ask but o well. its done now!
