Cheers.
By the way, our latest northern Japan tour is now on YT for those interested. Channel name is waddo.
If you haven't yet figured this out, the cause of my noise on my LHT was one of the chain rings. It needed tightening. I chased that noise for about a year, including a tour across Indiana and Ohio. I changed out pedals, checked the cassette and made sure it was torqued properly, etc. I finally snugged up the chain rings and that was it.
