Thanks ladies, great advice as usual! I do have a triple on this bike. Now I understand that it isn't the adjustment across all gears that may be the issue but the chain angle. This is the case in some instances but in the middle front ring and easier 3 rear gears it was making noise. So I think it is a combination of user error and questionable mechanic . I am going out to the silver comet trail tomorrow and will work through the gears to pinpoint the problem better. I would love to learn how to make adjustments myself so I will definitely check out the park tool website. I'm not afraid of a little grease!
