34 teeth you probably have a 3:78 to 1

I used a hand held GPS to check speedo accuracy.....I realize you may not have one....
I use a gps that's how l know that is not accurate.

Thanks for the chart that shows me the different gear ratios. That will be the best way to see witch ratio I have.

Then I can check witch speedo gear I have.
