A word of warning!

When taking students to test on an imported bike stickers on the speedo were not acceptable. Either an new facia had to be fitted or speedo converter. I know you have passed your test but if you go to a "jobs worth" MOT tester it might be advisable to take the sticker off!

PS I may change my gearing as well can you e/mail an attachment of the speedo if you do the gearing.

Thanks, yeah, well it's only on with 3 small bits of double sided tape, so if he wants to be fussy I'll take it off :)

Yeah, I'm not sure what gearing I'll be doing yet though.

Need to know how many mm the rear wheel moves forward for each extra tooth on the back sprocket.

I have 11mm my rear wheel can move forward.
