Help Identifying Noise
I heard this noise all day commuting on my Trek Emonda ALR 5 Disc that I just bought 2 weeks ago. Only 125km so far on the bike, thought it might be the chain and threw some Wet Lube on before riding home and did not solve the issue. Help?

It's basically impossible to help you only relying on this video... Where is the noise coming from? Is the chain rubbing on the FD (front derailleur)?

If the noise only occurs when the pedals are turning, check that the excess cable (the part sticking out from the pinch bolt) that operates your front derailleur isn’t being rubbed by your shoe with each pedal revolution. You will not hear this noise while working the gears while the bike I on a work stand.
