When I ride the small chain ring in my three smallest gears in my cassette (12/13/14) I hear a rubbing sound. I looked at my bike today. I noticed that when I'm in these gears my lower wheel on the draileur is moving up and towrds the back of the bike. This causes the chain to move up and rub on the upper wheel on my drailuer. Anyone have any clue on what I need to adjust?
