Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

Also, it's possible that the chain is zinging against the inboard side of the big chainring when you're in the extreme small-small combo. I've noticed this on one of my bikes. Trimming the FD via the shifter doesn't make a difference, but shifting to the next-to-smallest cog makes it disappear (as does shifting to the big chainring).

It's a different kind of sound, though. Instead of the "brrrr brrr" you'd get with FD rub, it has a "grriing grriiing" sound, at least on my Shimano and Sugino cranks, as the chain nicks the pins on the big ring.
