Rear Derailleur Chatter
 

5 year old 11 speed mechanical Ultegra group - always worked fine and recently moved to a newer frame. System and rear derailleur shifts perfectly and everything seems fine...until...

When descending over a rougher road (chip seal) and not pedaling, I hear a chatter that sounds just like chain slap. But I can't see or find any physical evidence that that is what it is. And it goes away when I continue to pedal. For a moment, I thought it might be the rear hub but that's been checked and cleared.

I'm now thinking B screw adjustment but if anything, its adjusted a hair too far from the cogs as opposed to too close.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Different bike different sounds to get use to.

Though I'd suspect chain slap too. Is this also when in the small tooth count cogs and/or ring? Maybe you need to shorten the chain.
