Hoping not to be a NEPRT dweller here...
I searched at least 30 different combinations with strings such as +final, +rear, +drive, +temperature, +hot, +feel, +heat etc.
Never could find a post Title related to the operating temperature of the final drive.
Got a nail in the rear tire two days ago. Yesterday I took an easy 20 mi ride to check that my gummy worm was holding...it was/is.
When I got home I immediately checked the tire pressure; while doing so I happened to touch the pumpkin. HOLY CRAP...that thing
was hot! I couldn't touch it for longer than a second. I think it would blister my finger if I held it to it longer. So I checked to ensure
it's properly lubed...it is. I don't have a temperature sensor...but I seems hotter than it should be. Note: I did not run the tire w/ low pressure.
Outside temp was 85 degrees under sunny skies and light winds. I was babying the bike because I was checking the new worm in the tire.
So my question is...Is does your final drive get too HOT to touch or close to it?
Thanks!
