All bike speedometers use millimeters to calibrate the speedometer/odometer. In fact most bicycles are all metric nut's bolts, allen keys and of course speedometer calibration. The guy on the website almost sounded sorry that he could not measure the distance on his garage floor in millimeters, instead having to go to a web site to do the conversion.
