Thanks for the sprocket / TC info - much appreciated! At some point I may look into 48mm front forks and a different TC offset, so it would great to have a source for custom TC's if Danny has the time.
Regarding the motor cooling - it seems to me that in a PMAC motor, the magnets themselves are by far the most vulnerable to overheating damage, which apparently is the main reason for the new IPM motor design. Unfortunately, the temp sensor is in the stationary assembly, so even if the rotor is blasted with ambient air - Harlan told me it can shoot out of a ventilated motor several feet - the coils & sensor are still hot, so the hi-temp protection kicks in anyway even though the rotor is surely much cooler. Has anyone tried - in a ventilated-rotor motor only - raising the temp limit, or modifying resistance in the sensor circuit to achieve the same thing? I'd think a relatively small change here might make a big difference in both onset and recovery times of the protection circuit. I don't know what the temp ratings of the Motenergy coils are, but I've seen air-cooled transformers on the ship rated for 200C continuous (nearly 400F) that ran smoking hot for years on end without failures.
