I've noticed this as well. I shower with the knob set at Hot only, and have a small amount of flow coming through my low flow showerhead. Sometimes it feels a bit lukewarm, and sometimes I feel like it's burning me.
I like your idea of the pulleys and string, hope to see details if you do it.
On another note, does anyone on here have one of the shower manifolds (control valves) that does not allow temp control? For instance, you turn it on low and it's cold, then crank it up to max flow for hot?
My home had one when we moved in - well worth buying/installing the new one - it was not possible to get hot enough water with the other one - always blended hot with a percentage of cold...
