Depending on tyre size you might like to play around with this to achieve a rough 44/16 rollout

or there's a thread on BMX Talk which might help

Crank length will play an important part too and how strong your legs are. Lots of opinions. Humps

Most guys run 41-18 or equivalent ,like humps says there are lots
of factors to consider, myself being a slimmer chap in the leg dept
am on 40-18 and even run 39-18 on short tracks, the old spin to
win is my motto.
