Awesome man, thanks for the pic. I'll see if I can come up with something similar.

I was thinking of making a bobweight to hang from somewhere behind the chain with a similar paper on it, but I don't know where I'd hang it from so that it's not rubbing against the chain.

I went for a quick ride today and noticed a high pitched whine coming from the bike. It got higher pitched the faster I went. I stopped and checked out the chain and rear sprocket, didn't see any wear at all on either, so I continued the ride. I didn't notice any roughness or vibrations and went up to 65mph. I'll keep an eye on the chain/sprocket, but I don't think they're too terribly out of alignment.

Thanks for all the replies guys, you've all been really helpful with this!
