it cant be ur bb cause there is no force on it when you take your feet off ur pedals therefore it will not move unless acted on by an outside force. Get a chain tensioner and add a few links to your chain and that should do it.

thank you hahaha thats what Ive been tryign to tell him all along
No problem lol

yeah thats what i thought to but for some reason it just seems like somethings going on in the chain guide or the BB

If your chain is too tight, it'll put a load on the bearings in the BB and can cause it to make weird noises. I unfortunately killed a bb doing that.

well besides adding the rear chain tensioner you could A) put back on the cassette and rear derraler or B)buy a frame with horizontal drop outs

plus man u dont need a front chain guide on a SS so sell that and buy the rear tensioner....chain guide wont do squat on a properly set up SS
