Just to confirm something is normal

Hi,

I have 6 speed bike with a very basic Shimano (SIS) rear
derailleur. I'm pretty sure you can't buy it as a Shimano part.

On the lowest gear it makes a noise like the top index wheel is
running on top of the gear teeth of the lowest gear, is this normal ?

I can't see any adjustment for this, the angle seems seems set by
a bolt and a flanged bush behind the rearwheelnut. I have changed
the rear tyre, so it is possible there is some subtlety to refitting the
rear derailleur I may have missed putting the rear wheel back on.

rgds, sreten.
