<VV> Tire Revs per mile

[airvair]

Unlike the EM, there are no gears between the speedo's input shaft and
the tire on a LM, as it's on a direct cable-driven hookup to the front
wheel. So if your tires will roll 825 revolutions per mile, your speedo
will (if it's true to the label) be dead on accurate.

It's a gear ratio. It's probably spot on from the standpoint of the
odometer. 825 revs = one mile on the odo.

       Actually, the "official" rpm for a LM Corvair speedo can be found
on the
       back of it, posted with a sticker that declares that it's
calibrated for
       825 revolutions per mile. Just how accurate it REALLY is is
anybody's
       guess.
