Rear Derailleur
The rear derailleur is supposed to move?
Hello! I'm riding my old bike, but it seems a bit odd. Derailleur back is movable, as in I can move it to the bike chain is tight or lose. Is it supposed to do? If not, how do I fix this problem? Let me know, thank you!
It is supposed to move when you shift gears to keep the size "tight" because of differences in the chain of teeth (spring tension of the string). It moves back and forth to the side of the old and the other to keep the chain in line with the current gear. It is not supposed to rotate or pivot laterally so. If you are unsure have a friend who knows motorcycles have a look or take a bike shop for advice.
