The speed calculations for any gear calculator are going to depend on several factors that probably aren’t...and can’t be... considered in the calculations. Wind resistance will change the value. Headwinds will have an effect as well. They shouldn’t be looked on as “absolute” but only as estimates. They are probably good estimates but just estimates.
