I read things here often of this ilk but I'll never understand how the diameter of a wheel influences gearing, except to the possible extent of tire availability.
It's the tire that changes effective gearing, not the wheel on which it's mounted. A 27" tire on a 16" wheel and a 27" tire on a 13" wheel both turn the same number of times in a mile, period.
