Well i was wrong, I was playing on the repair stand some more, and large front cog with any of the FOUR smaller cogs it scrapes the front derailleur. When I ride hard in large front-small rear it goeS CLANK CLANK CLANK.

noisy in the rear (pulleys) in ANY of the large front cog gears. It's the typical chain noise of a bike in a hanger, just a lot louder than I'm used to (on my often muddy hybrid.)

I guess really my only true problem is the scraping in the 4 smallest cogs of the cassette. I tried adjusting the H limit screw, but it still rubs.

Maybe it is the hanger. It would make sense I suppose!
