what problem? more details please0

Well, its sort of like, especially in easier to pedal gears, if I stop pedalling then start it feels like its come off. Also, if I leave my bike on its side the chain droops a lot.

Yeah but surely if its that loose you gotta take at least 1 link out? I know I did...
But yeah, the rear mech could be the problem..0 -
any pics of rear mech and its condition?0

If the rear mech was dead, wouldn't that affect gear performance. Gears seem to work fine. uh? When I'm in a gear like 1:4, I pedal backwards then pedal forwards, its got the feeling when you pedal and its not on and then it goes normal again. Sorry broke my camera so no pics.
Thanks for help. preciate itMe like trials biking me do0 -
the chain could have stretched over time, how old is the bike/chain?0
-
I really really hate to say this, but it seems to have stopped doing it. WTF
The chains almost a year old, anyway,

That's a really old chain - I'd change it, along with the cassette, possibly middle chainring and possibly jockey wheels too.0
