I bought front and rear pads on Ebay the other day for $12. Yes, the whole set for $12, lol. And they're half decent semi-metallic. They came in today, and I did it myself in 15 min. Regreased the slide pins upon entry, and cleaned calipers w/ brake cleaner.

So far the stopping power is much better - even for 2.3k miles the rears were very low. And, from what I can tell / hear, the noise seems to be gone! Hopefully it stays this way, and it was just a pad getting stuck on something.

As for the chain, I keep it clean, its 100% NOT dry, and I use special chain lube every so often. It makes a typical chain noise, but I was just trying to figure out what was normal or not.
