jotjot YES, i was hearing a lot of chain noise, like metal contact noise, it actually concerned me.
I took the bike for a romp around the block and could absolutely hear the noise while riding, which I did NOT like.
Maybe my paranoia kicked in but it felt like the bike was handling different as well.
I took it home and RE checked everything and instead of 30 the chain was measuring 28 mm. So I went thru and re did the entire procedure,absolutely double checking everything and my measurements, centering bla bla. I got it at 31 mm now and it's nice and quiet, well a lot quieter and seems to be running well. It appears if you are going to be off a bit, looser is absolutely the way to go.
I got a brush, some cleaner and lube coming from revzilla here hopefully today or saturday and will clean the chain and re lube everything over the weekend, will let you know how it all goes.
