Im just noticing that I get really slow after a while. No matter what I do, I can't stay at the same pace. On my local track, I'll be doing 14.1-14.3 consistently and then I'll notice that my times go down to 14.7/14.8 every lap after about 4 mins. At the end of 8 min mains, I'll be averaging 14.9s every lap.
Have you experimented with simply dropping teeth on the pinion? Maybe you're just over geared.
