The distance the wheel travels per revolution is equal to the circumference of the wheel. One circumference is equal to pi times the wheel diameter.
So you can turn the wheel one revolution and count the encoder ticks... or you can count the encoder ticks for one encoder rev, then reduce that by the gearbox (and chain, if present) ratio to get the fractional wheel revs.
