Motor ran strong all 8 minutes with zero fade.
So buy what you guys are saying, my motor should be toast?
96/32 is a fair bit different than the 100/35 Tony was describing. Or did you miss that on your way to making a point? You describe a 46.5mm roll-out. If you were to use his gear combo with your tires it would be right about 49mm. And that's assuming he's running tires in that ballpark.
That said, I'm surprised you're coming off at the temperature you're reporting, but you're the guy there. I'd wager your track is a good bit more "flowing" than our tracks tend to be, because I guarantee you'd be a fair bit hotter if you ran on our track.
I run closer to a 44mm roll-out and get temps about 30-40 degrees hotter than what you're experiencing.
