Default gear inch to mph formula

Hi All
Looking for this formula:

chainring / cog x wheel size x pi /
88 /something x cadence = miles per hour

the rest i forget but it gives the speed based on cadence in
mph. Anyone know the rest or something other formula that
does the job? Thanks a bunch.

If I remember correctly, gear inches times cadence divided
by 336 equals mph. Try Sheldon Brown though, I have been
wrong in the past. Skip

Email me if you want an Excel spreadsheet that calculate
gear inches, development (in meters) and mph for a given
crank rpm for triple crank, da Vinci quad, SRAM DualDrive,
Schlumpf Speed and Mountain drives, Rohloff hubs, jack-shaft
step-up gear, and Rotator type mid-drive systems.

If you know gear inches, then at 100 rpm multiply GI by .3 to give
approximate speed ie 80 inches = 24 mph.
