14t is actually the best suited... you divide the front teeth number by the rear...

The minimum you can have is 1.125

the maximum you can have is 1.2

so 16/14=1.142

if you want a harder feeling ratio you're best off getting a new front sprocket/freewheel :/

on my 24" i use 16-12, it's fine for static moves and seems sharp enough to build up some good speed. on a 26" you'd want 13t as it's almost the same ratio as 18-15 which is the popular 16" ratio, and 16-12 is close to 18-14 if you like it harder ;)

tl dr:

26" wheels: 16:13 (or 12t if you want harder)

24" wheels: 16:12t only...
