I've just changed the chain on my conversion and now there seems to be some creaking noises coming from it, especially when putting any kind of force on the pedals. Could it be a worn cog/chain ring on new chain problem? I thought fixed cogs and large chainrings were both pretty resistant to wear, compared to geared sprockets. The other thing is, it wasn't noticeable when I first put it on, but the next day when it got a soaking in the rain, it started making these noises. The chainring/cog are second hand, so I don't know how much use they've had, but don't look too wavey.
