Hi.
Looking for some advice about an issue I'm having with my chain. I have a 16 speed, road bike.
I've noticed recently that when in the small ring at the front and probably smallest 3 rings at the back that the chain feels quite loose when stationary. When pedalling it seems okay, I still get drive out of it and can still maintain my normal speed but when coasting it seems loose or if I pedal backwards.
Doesn't seem to be an issue in the big ring, or with a small at the front, big at the back combination.
Bike is about 6 months old, entry level and does about 100 miles per week. Maybe less with winter months that have just gone.
