Hi guys, on a ride the other day I noticed a grinding noise from the rear. I was hoping that someone had a clue what it was seeing as though I haven't ruled out everything nor do I know what they are called :blush:
It only happens in top gear and when the right pedal is down and about to continue the cycle to the top. Change down and it goes.
I'm riding a Cannondale Synapse Aluminium 2014 model.

Is the chain possibly rubbing on the front mech cage? This can happen when in the big chainring / small sprocket combination and can manifest as a regular grinding once per crank revolution. If so, the high limit screw just wants adjusting to move the front mech maybe half a mm or so outwards when on the big ring.
