Digging my bike out after 3 years and looks like my chain is threaded wrong?
I’d assume the chain should go under this metal “bridge” not over it? It’s quite clunky going over it

Yes
Yes. You did the thing.
Yes it is.
Yep, easy fix though.
Pull a pulley, wiggle the cage until chain gets underneath the tap, install pulley.
And you assume right, doesn’t it make a weird noise while rotating?
Yes it is
Yep.
Yes.
Easy fix: undo and remove one pulley, correct the chain route and put the pulley back.
Noted: the tab (where the chain was mis-routed) does look slightly bent maybe? If so, tweak it back to straight if it’s causing any chain scrub with the chain correctly routed.
Yes
Thanks all. You’ve been very helpful. All sorted now. My chain has a quick link so was an easy fix
Yah.
Hell yea brother
Yes, it should go under this bracket
If you’re disassembling machine X, and you’ve never taken an X apart, take some pictures of X with your phone from multiple angles before you start. Take pictures during disassembly. You might find these pics useful during reassembly.
Lol… yes
Very good picture with the problem area circled. It makes answers easier and more accurate, good job.
