Anyone in Philadelphia...?
Im riding a fixed and i got a new cog/chainring and chain and ive noticed a slight noise in my rotation and i dont want to get charged 20 bucks at the local bike shop just to figure out what it is,especially if i just need lube on the chain,its not a very loud noise just a noise ha,If someone around center city could help me out by taking a look at it i would apprciate it VERY much,thank you
I dont even have 20 bucks to spare at the local LBS or i would do it:/
Edit: The noise didnt start til about 2-3 days after the new chain/cog/ring

Haha true... I was just ****ing around, I actually love Philly. Can be a very beautiful city with lots to offer culturally. I apologize for cluttering up your thread with bull****. Good luck finding an honest response! If I lived in Philly I'd help you out.

How about loose chainring bolts? You changed the chainring and then after a few days riding they got loose. It happens.

Check out Bell's Bikes right near Pat's and Geno's. Their prices, service and turnaround time are the best I've dealt with. The only place that did work on my bike where I was able to pick it up 2 hours later.
