I have a moderately used bike (used 3 times a week, not anything hardcore) and I have noticed that since packing it for a trip around the country the chain has been rubbing against the frame close to the sprocket doo-hickey at the back of the bike. do I need to bend my frame or is the chain rubbing because of something else being bent.

Any Help Would Be Much Appreciated! :)

try adding an extra spacer or two to your spindle, like behind the sproket, it will gice you more clearance.

The Sprocket is really tight against the frame. Maybe I can bend it with a vice or sumthin?

Don't bend your frame if thats what your saying.. Is your sproket bent? If not, then just add spacers under it like I said.
