Another place often over looked is the chain ring bolts. Tighten them up a bit. Maybe one or two had come loose.

Yes, my feet are at that position to give equal absorption of the bumps. I could try it at noon and six and see if that makes a diff. I'll be on the same route tomorrow.

I will check the chain before lubing it, and ring bolts....I don't notice any noise from the chain or sprockets when pedaling. (other than normal)

Thanks for the help.
