Hi all
just a quick one, I'm getting a bit of vibration on the bike while riding. Not too much but enough for me to feel it. Also getting a knocking sound. I'm assuming it the chain?? Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm new to bikes. The chain seems loose to me. If I push it together the bottom part of the chain touches the frame of the bike (I'm also assuming that's not good and seems a bit loose, but again plz correct me). I know how to loosen the wheel and tighten the chain tensioners on the back but how do I know how much slack to leave? Currently it is set on the second groove on the tensioners if that's any help. And both sides are set the same. Is there a certain measurement or rule of thumb about how much slack to leave on the chain?
The chain hasn't actually come off but don't want it to lead to that.
Thanks
