The number i had was around 1300.
To be more accurate, roll out 5-10 wheel distances, and then measure the total distance, and divide by the number of revolutions.
Perhaps your tires are just taller/bigger.

just stand it against a wall, preferably garage LOL or a bit of wood, cardboard etc sprit level on top of tyre, mark the height of the tyre, measure and mulitply by 3.14, simplest surely
heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it does fail, hit them with it!!!

You didn't mention what size tyre you are using, the Raceman comes in a variety of sizes and the 120/90 - 10 is 147.7cms, check what it says on the side wall, front tyre obviously ;)
