Well I have, the chain is Whippermann and I feel it should have lasted longer than this. It is making a right racket now, with every pedal stroke it is constant, think it can only be the chain. Then my headset decided to join it but I've tightened it. There's nothing greater than a silent running bike...the dream

Have you actually measured it and found it to be worn?

Worn chains aren't noisier than unworn chains.

If there is one thing I have learned from this thread (and personal experience) is that all noise appears to be coming from the drivetrain.

I don't know whether it's worn or not, but I do know it's making a hell if a racket. Think about it it started after I cleaned in a chain bath and degreaser, and then re-lubed. I wonder if that may be the culprit. I'll find out when I get a new chain
