I checked my girls bike... she has a GF Tiburon with 700x35 tires and the chart on that webpage said to use 2170mm... well, I came up with 85.625", or 217.4875cm or 2174.875mm

thats a difference of 0.225%...

so, her computer would be reading a tiny bit slower than she would actually be going... if it displayed 25mph, she would actually be going 25.5mph...

i'll take some more accurate measurements and i'll re-program the computers appropriately...

Following the chart on the other webpage, it said to use 2140mm... and I came up with 2139.95mm just now... thats a difference of 0.002%... and hey... I'm only human... so, theres room for error...
