I've been reading up on Sheldons bible for bottom bracket clicks. It clicks once on 1 pedal rotation
Quote from Sheldon's site:
Bottom Bracket Cups/Retaining Rings Loose? Because of the threading of normal bottom brackets, the cups are self-tightening to a point. This sometimes leads to careless installation, particularly on the right (fixed cup) side. If the right cup is slightly loose, it won't necessarily unscrew itself, but it won't really tighten itself up fully either. The symptom of this is an occasional creak or clunk usually as the left crank goes "over the top" when pedaling hard. This is a surprisingly common, and frequently missed, casue of unwanted noises. Generally you should check the items above first, because they're easier to deal with. You can't reliably check the tightness of the bottom bracket mounting without removing the cranks, but sometimes you can diagnose it this way:
Turn the cranks so that the left crank is alongside the seat tube, wrap both hands around the crank and seat tube ans squeeze the crank hard toward the seat tube. Then turn the cranks so that the right crank is alongside the seat tube and repeat this. Listen for a creak/clickIt does sound like the above, it clicks when my left foot is pedaling down, and I'm pedaling hard (not while cruising)
My question is how do I resolve this issue?

I started on the 46/15 they give on the fuji track, first fixed i ever mounted, i got used to it in the city but it is very high still if you're stopping and starting all the time. I changed the 15 to a 17 not long ago. The multi-tool from condor is quite useful and they sell cogs for like 7£ there.
