Just got this bike recently and I hear noticeable drivetrain noise and what feels like rubbing when in the highest (smallest couple cogs, never sure if highest or lowest is right here) gears. Shifting feels fine — just noise and feeling of slight rubbing (unless what I’m experiencing is actually normal). When I look down at the cassette while riding, I notice that it appears to wobble a bit at those cogs. Does this look abormal or is it just an illusion that I’m seeing?
Cassette not aligned or illusion?

It’s not an illusion, some cassettes and freehubs, usually toward the entry level bikes, have some wobble. The rubbing/noise may be an indication of needing adjustment.
