I realize that and becasue I have horizontal drops I have no magic gear ratio number to help you. The online calulators should help I suspect.
I put about 3k per year on the SS bike. Maybe it's because I'm a pretty big dude (6'2' - 230) and I mash the pedals hard. I don't know, I just compare them for fun when I swap the chain, and and the stretch is there. It's never an issue because I've got the dropouts to accomodate adjustments for stretch
