Is it riding into a head-wind on the last stretch of your ride?

That's mine. I hear Danny Glover from ~~Die Hard~~ Lethal Weapon in my head every time...

EDIT: Correct movie referenced

Currently my derailleur. No matter how I adjust it it seems like at least one gear will click a tiny bit and try to jump. I'm thinking maybe I bent my hanger slightly as it is driving me up the wall!

Also brake pads -_-

Buy a new hanger they are practically free

I will when I have the money but they are definitely not "practically free" otherwise I'd have done that a while ago just to eliminate that possibility.

Even better but a ZTTO HAG tool. Teach a person to fish and all that.

Check for a stiff or bent link? If you pedal slow on a stand you might see it happening if the chain has a problem.

Cheers for the suggestion but I have already looked for this as well as chain length and they are alright :)

brake pads

I take it you are not in the elite circle of v-brake users ;)

Lol I haven't used V Brakes since maybe 04!
