I'll second the 1:1 as an absolute minimum. Many don't initially realize how much havoc 700 x 42 tires wreak on typical road'ish gearing. I've used the 28 x 30 on my BMC Mcross with Compass 44s (that only measure 40) many times on the road, let alone off-road. Granted I live in a very hilly area with steep climbs.



FWIW, Paul mini motos work well with Campy levers as do any of their other rim brakes. You must be thinking the Klampers (disc) although they now offer a Campy specific arm.
