Gears making Noise

    Hi folks. I got my new bike about two weeks ago. It's a Felt Z100. While (I think) it's a great bike, I notice the chain rattles quite a bit. It either rubs against the selector (I'm not sure on which gear exactly) on the front or the back. Is a rattle from the chain normal or should each gear transition be relativly quiet? Thnks :o

    Google 'Cross Chaining' and take it from there.

    It should be quiet. If you knock into the shop you bought it in they will adjust the gears for you.
