Check to see if any of the chainring bolts are loose or broken. Bent tooth has already been mentioned. How many miles on the chain? Is it worn and flexy?
I went over the bike very meticulously and the chainring bolts are all on there pretty tight. The chainring is straight as ever. I checked the chain, and it has some life left in it, albeit not much. I put it on last late January/early February, I think it might have 4k or so miles on it, but that is a wild guess. :/
I am tempted to just replace it to see, but I sort of wanted to wait until the season loomed closer.
