Finally got round to having a good look at things yesterday.
Sprockets look okay to me, and as i said before there is definitely no stiff links in the chain, it's in very good condition with all links moving freely, and no hint of any knocking on the footpeg whatsoever.
One thing that i have thought of though is that the noise only started after i starting brushing engine oil on the chain every other week.
For decades i've only ever used chain lube before on all my chains.
So am i hearing a different chain noise that i'm simply not used to?
Chain lube can be thick and gungy, whereas engine oil has made the chain look and feel like new.
Might be a coincidence, but i realigned the wheel again anyway and oiled it again and the noise is still there.
Just a thought, maybe the cause?

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
