I was showing 64 mph on the bicycle speedometer but 70 mph on the Qlink speedo. I can recalibrate the bicycle one but I'm thinking that I got a speedo intended for an XP. Does it stand to reason that a XP speedometer for 21" wheels on a 17" wheeled XF would show a higher mph than what I am truly traveling? Is anybody else having that wide of a margin between indicated and actual speed?

You don't know if your wife's speedo is accurate either.
Do you have a GPS or a cell phone with GPS?
My Q read a little low, 60 indicated at 55 actual, but with the slightly larger tires (knobbies instaead of the Kenda dualsports) it currently reads right on.
Good question about the XP/XF speedos. I don't know but I have assumed they use differently geared speedo drives. I know the final drive gearing is the same.
