If you're serious about it get a GPS speedo and hire an airfield.
Ian, that is a STACK!!!
I measure the wheel perimeter and log it into the Stack... that is better that a GPS wich have satellite delay... at least i read about it!
I must say i did try it against the GPS, the error is 1 to 2kmh! (GPS showing more speed)
In the end if i go for other tyre size, i just need to find the new perimeter and log it again...
The wheel setup is to improove grip... wich i sometimes loose at that speed making the ATB struggle and at that speeds the result is crazy!!!
