Hi folks,
I’ve just noticed my chain is hitting on the derailleur. I’ve used my bike a lot the last few days so no idea how long it may have been an issue.
It could be caused by chain stretch? New chain was put on in April ~ 1000km ago. Annoyingly I left my chain indicator at my friends.
I’ve ordered a new chain yesterday but won’t arrive until next Tuesday and am wanting to ride over the weekend.
Could it also be caused by derailleur placement / tension?
Thanks for any help!

Oooops stupid question. It was on the smallest cogs on both 🤦🏻♀️
No, this still should not happen. Maybe you need to shorten your chain. And maybe it is time for a new chain
Buddy. You tighten the b screw a few turns. to resolve this.
Chain is too long, or b-tension screw incorrectly adjusted. Or both.
You mounted it upside down….
