Option 2 and 3 would be a smaller big ring or look at new crank and bb options I prefer the outboard bearing type like the hollowtec 2 varieties.
Went to a different LBS today and showed them my crank and the two large chain rings. Had the chain bolts off so they could see the setup with the new large chain ring and the old. The conclusion was to move to a new BB like the Hollowtec and dump the BB taper. So, tonight I put it back together with the old large and new small chain ring and all is back to normal shifting. The new small chain ring is quiet and the old large has some noise under load. Going to begin the process of moving to a new type of BB.
Thanks for all the comments!
