I love my bike and definitely don't want a new one. I could have bought a new one but chose instead to send it to the mothership in Oregon and get it overhauled and repainted.
So I'm not really sure I've gotten an answer here...it's the hub, it's not the hub, it's slack.
It literally feels like the chain is hitting just under the edge of a tooth on the chainring and jumping up and over onto the next tooth. Just a one tooth skip. It's interesting in that this is the first time I have used a chain with a master link (PC SRAM 870) and now I am wondering if it is possible that sometimes that link is catching? That would explain the inconsistent intermittent nature. I checked for stiff links and they all seem okay. The master link is fully expanded.
I'll keep riding it and see if the problem goes away...which would indicate something wearing in. If you guys have any other thoughts, let me know and thanks.
