Hi Paul
I know what I would do, I would keep the axle and correct the speedo
(assuming this is why you are speeding), you will soon get used to the note
of the engine with reference to what speed you are doing, imagine you had
never known any different, you would not be speeding and the ear would know!
I always favour the taller axle ratios.
Just My Tuppence

Graham.
