The size of the wheel is immaterial to the calculations.

If John wanted to do ALGEBRA rather than ARITHMATIC (he did not do MATH as he claimed ;-) he could have made the exact same arguments with the size of the wheel being any arbitrary size.

I will answer his comments in another message, but rest assured that the size of the wheel is not part of the answer.
