Sorry, but I don't see how this makes any sense. Road cranks versus track cranks should have nothing to do with noise as long as your chainline is straight. The noise my chain is making has nothing to do with lube...the chain has plenty of lube. Its an intense grinding noise caused by the chain not engaging the teeth of the cog properly and the grating rough effect that it makes is beyond noisy...its downright unridable. You could probably hear it clacking a block away.
