    Spring gone in the rear mech really ? Or it could be clogged with dirt ?

    Are you sure that the chain is the right length?

    Most likely the above, but... if the bottom run of the chain is up against the top jockey wheel the chain is too long.

    Usually means the pivots in rear mech need servicing
