if your pedals are moving then your freewheel isn't working to its best but if you pull the back brack watch the front doesn't dip to much

Your pedals will only move ifyou have a fixed gear. And have you ever held your back brake in the air? Stopping the momentum of the rear wheel will f*ck you up royally.

If your chain is too tight it will cause your cranks to move as well. Or if you have a strong freewheel and really good crank bearings they might move.
