Re:
I haven't finished building my bike yet but on riding it before hand when I had the full range of gears I was happy with 2.6:1 or the other way around depending how you write it.
I was wondering what the simple measure of rear teeth to front teeth.
i think it could have been when altering my motorbike sprockets the mechanic basically told me 1 tooth at the rear is the same as 4 teeth on the front. tbh it could even be the other way around now lol.
I'm starting to wonder what I'm asking myself and why haha.

Re:
I was using the smallest ring on my cassette and that was 13 and middle ring was 34 I think. so yes it gives the same ratio of what you said.
i've read the single speed thread on here and gear ratio is the main talking point. i've never had a single speed before but my pub bike gears packed up yonks ago so I was stuck in 1 gear for a few years. so I suppose I have been ss for a while, but the gear I was stuck in was Ok for just tootling about on so it doesn't really help me.
i've got the bike to how I want it, just need some replacement cantilever brakes, work out what saddle I want and obviously what rings to get then all sorted.

Re:
You have told yourself the answer in that ratio you gave.
For every 1 tooth at the back add 2.6 teeth at the front. Then round
If you want a pure 2.6 then 15rear x2.6 = 39 front.
It easier just to multiply the rear by your perfect ratio to get the front.
Or divide for vice versa
Assuming you are using the same wheel/tyre size as that alters things.
