I bought this bike in December last year and it has done about 2000km. A couple weeks ago I heared some rattling noises coming from the drivetrain and it wouldn’t shift properly annymore. I thought it was maybe the shifter and once home I made some adjustments and the noise was gone. A week or two later, same thing happened. I came home….. , Ever since it has been happening more frequently to the point where It wont go aways anymore. I checked everything, gears, the chain, shifter and the cable. The only thing I could find where the little rings being pretty lose. Is it normal for them to be this lose after only 2k km?
Is it normal for the little rings in the chain to wiggle this much?

That is what people mean when they talk about chain wear. The roller wearing on the pin.
“Chain stretch” is a misnomer, it’s actually the roller and pin wearing.
You probably want a new chain, and potentially cassette and/or chainring.
