I get pretty bad chain slap if I'm in the wrong gear.

Thanks for your feedback, Mike.


This is definitely not a skid plate or anything related to protective accessories as I have taken them all off and I am still getting this noise.



I am not sure if "rattling" is the right term to describe the sound, it really sounds like something is loose and is hitting something else. I guess most of it is the chain, but there seems to be a component to the sound that comes from somewhere closer to the front of the bike.
