Erm, actually, no. It's only the size of the rear sprocket that matters. No calculation required. Think about it.

Felix, Go on then, I'll bite. If your using the pulses on the front sprocket as the speed input, why don't you need to do the math? The speed the front sprocket rotates compared to road speed, is goverened by tyre circumference and final drive ratio. Eg. a tooth of the back means more road speed for same front sprocket rotations.
