    Gear ratio problem (weird)

    The most straight forward way is to have both wheels off the ground, mark the wheels (both, and the input), turn the input enough times to get the wheels to make one full revolution. Just count how many times you had to turn it and you've got your ratio. Usually the wheels will turn together...
