The fact that I'm the only one with the problem is making me feel like a moron.
I've also got a timing chain which will not stay quiet. I paraffined the chains and the drive chain is quiet as a church mouse, and the timing chain started squeaking after about 20 miles. I re-paraffined it and it did it again after another 20. I switched to white lightning and each time the chain is good for about 20 miles. The rollers on the chain are not smooth and polished, but are are scared and gouged up. I'm wondering about the inside of the links and if I've got a defective link. I really don't want to go to a wet lube. I'm going to toss that chain (with it's visible issues).
I'm also going to pick up a new front derailleur cable and see if that fixes the problem.
