Bob, your right! I DID have it backward! .68 IS taller.

I originally was using this formula:
mph = (rpm x tire diameter) / (gear ratio x 336)

For "gear ratio" I used 1.68 and 1.80, which WILL result in misleading numbers! I THINK you should use the "rear end ratio" for "gear ratio". But that doesn't seem to work either!

See the "link" in my EDIT section for a great calculator!
