I'm glad you seem to have solved the problem Patrick. I tore the Hilsen apart 
two or three weeks ago and gave it a good cleaning (it's filthy again!) I had 
one good, long, 75 mile ride and since then it has been acting up. Kind of a 
skip or ghost shift in the drivetrain. In the past that has simply meant 
adjusting the barrel adjusters. I kept messing with them and it wasn't getting 
better. When that happens I usually start from scratch. Loosen the cable and 
reattach. Then I lubed the chain. While wiping off the excess lube the rag 
started snagging when I rotated backwards. I found a broken link! I've only 
been riding seriously for around 13-14 years and this is the first broken link 
I've ever had. I have a 200K coming  up on Saturday so I'm really glad I found 
it now. The LBS has a 9 speed chain waiting for me to pick up tomorrow. Hooray 
for a smooth, silent drive train!
