    Speedo accuracy hub vs gearbox

    Just a question what would be more accurate in a stock standard bike with no mods at all ?
    It would seem mine is fairly accurate if the solar signs on the side of the road are anything to go by?

    Just remember that 2 k out at 50 is 4 at 100.
    Most speedos read approx 100 when travel is 96 +-2
    Changing tyre size and profile change things.
    Gearbox type with sprocket changes would make a massive difference.

    Tyres at different pressures and wheels at different speeds even changes the accuracy also. Tyres at 250kph can be 10mm taller than standing.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    I changed sprockets and then had an error of 120 at a true100 kph. I had to correct it, it was too far out. Cost about 120$
