i checked the cassette. little to no wear. i've replaced the chain regularly. the last 8 speed chain was at 0.05, not 0.075 stretch.
checked the chain length, definitely not that
i recently overhauled the rear hub, and might have over done the thick grease vs light grease ratio, making the paws stick a little. that's my best guess right now
