    Hi folks,

    Trying to fix an issue with my back derailleur (i think)... When i stop pedalling the derailleur kicks forward an the chain kind of hangs... any ideas on how i can fix it?

    Thats your hub sticking. It could get nasty if the chain tangles up in your spokes, probably make sh!te of your rear wheel and wreck the derailleur.

    Trip to the bike shop or if you have the tools yourself then have a look on Youtube for instructions how to clean and lube a freehub
