[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 685, member: 302"] [b]rattle[/b] I am unable to give an optimum clearance between the chain and the oiler, if you can make the chain touch the oiler with your finger then the chances are that it will touch in use and make the noise you describe, it will be more noticable on acceleration or overun, you could remove it and look for witness marks, then leave it off and go for a short ride, at least it will eliminate that possibility. I would leave it off anyway as it is not the best way to lubricate your rear chain, the oil normally finds its way onto the tyre eventually and can give you a bit of a scare when cranked over.
