Yes I'm standing and pedaling and it is well lubed. It's not the links on the chain ring and I did try and move the chain rings while on the bike rack. I will check that out further though. I did try and adjust the front derailleur and I think it shifts better than it ever did. I'm in the middle on the rear so it's really not hitting anything. I got 7 K on the BB that I replaced, so I was wondering about that as well. I even looked for cracks on the frame, but didn't find any. It's a Specialized Roubaix and it's a fact 8 and I'm 200#.
I also checked out the rear derailleur hanger and it looks ok, but I don't have the tool they use to check it. The bike has never been down though.
