Default Re: To Stat or Not To Stat? That is the question.

So, status quo for me for the near future.

You saw the difference between stats and no stats on my long downhill. Since yours doesn't really drop that low it seems as though you may well have thermostats.

But, I'm with you. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I would never have given a thought about nor any effort whatsoever to thermostats if I hadn't had the overheating problem going over Rocky Mountain National Park last fall. Now, after all of my efforts, I'm convinced that my overheating problem was because one of my brass stats was only opening half way. I would probably have been fine even with those if they'd worked right. They had been fine for two years before that including to the top of Pike's Peak. We lives and we learns.
