bmx gearing vs mountain bike

[harris]

right ive been out for a couple of rides on my mountain bike ,trying to build they old leg muscles up.
i was wondering if anyone nows what gear a 44/16 would be on a mountain bike gearing on 26" wheels
so i can get a good feel of what i should be pushing.

no mountain bike talk please! 

Don't think it would matter mate, just ride the bike in any gear and take it easy.

According to the chaps at Charge it's 36:16 on a 26" bike with 175mm cranks. (= 44:16)

SE run 39:18 on the OM flyer.

my middle chainring is 38t  so i will try them both to get a good idea.

38:18 is probably nearest at 54.89 Gi (44:16 is 55 Gi - and 39:18 is 56.2 Gi), but it'll probably be a little 'easier' than 44:16.
