if i went from a 27 to a 29t front sprocket how much would it throw my speedo off. cause it the bike stops climbing at about 123 on the speedo. soo i was wondering how muck the speedo was off and it would say im going slower than i actually am right.


later

Think percentages. If my math is close (certainly not a sure thing, LOL) you have made an 8% change in sprocket size. 123MPH plus 8% of 123 equals 131MPH, which is ballpark for an otherwise stock bike. An indicated 60MPH gives an actual speed of 64.8 MPH.
