Depending on your cog or CW that will get you there, get a gear-chart.

39x20 will get you there (or 47x24), 30Kph at 120 rpm. Simple as that.

Personally I used 46x20 so that's 62inches, and that worked for my fixed training,puffdaddy wrote:Is there any set standard or approximate for fixed training
as a preparation for road (and track)... hope it works for you, puffdaddy.

Old school is what brenteno has quoted. Really low gear 52.5" I think he quoted (too lazy to scroll down)
New school is what I do. 81" and smash the [something] out of it. I've hit 70kph on it
Both Old school and New school have their benefits.
I'll give you 2 options;
1. Ride whatever comes with it and if you hate it change it
2. Train on different gears, changing it every so often
