You could also use an infra-red thermometer, working quickly to use it as soon as you stopped. I've got one small enough to carry in a bike bag. To be really accurate, you'd want one that adjusts for the emissivity of the surface, which mine doesn't do. "Most organic objects fall close to 0.95 on the emissivity scale. For this reason, many IR thermometers are pre-set at an emissivity of 0.95. However, objects with much lower emissivity ratings, such as polished metal, will give false temperature readings. This will happen if the emissivity setting is not adjusted before the temperature reading is taken." https://ennologic.com/emissivity-inf...eter-readings/ -- - Frank Krygowski |

Bicycling?) distributed some of these to selected folk (including me) for use on tandem rims. As I recall, the range on the stickers I got was around the boiling point of water, above and below, maybe 80C to 120C, but I might be mistaken - could have been 60C to 100C. As I dimly recall, we "blacked out" some but not all of the markings. Mark J. |

If I remember the "stickers" we got for the exhaust system were single temperature stickers and we stuck a while range of them on the muffler. -- Cheers, John B. |
