sorry for the really bad rant. But I am seriously using the chart at the moment and probably will continue to do so. probably should have put all the text in.

1. speedo needle is 4mm long(broken/missing rest)
2. odo drive on the hub broke.

left column is speed. (large and bold)
top row is gear
everything else is rpm(60*100 = 6k rpm, used on various automotive tachometers)

bottom is supposed to be cryptic.
7- 85 in 6
65 - 80 in 6
70 -80 in 5

just did not want it to say 80, would probably show 'intent' to speed, speed limit is 75 here.

I am amazed it took a couple days for anyone to discover this thread. I was expecting lulz.


if i am out of the range of the chart I DO NOT CARE about what my speed is, just if it feels right/ prudent to me. in normal traffic situations there is no excuse to be out of it. unless you actually do 35 in a 35 zone.

What a retarded thread.


If your speedo breaks and you are too poor to replace it fit a cheap bicycle speedo.

Go to the Gearing Commander website and look it up.

I think it would be best to put a speedo back on so that you are not staring at the thing and spend more time watching the road.
