This is the first time I've replaced a chain and it is making a racket when I pedal. Is this normal until it breaks in?
My back wheel was way worse than this video, so I know I did something right but I am not sure if it was good enough!
Thanks in advance
Should a new chain sound like this? Is my rear wheel too wobbly?

3rd one this week! Same issue, so it’s your new chain not meshing with your older driver, the driver is worn into your old chain and makes these noises because it’s not meshing as well. Solution is file any burrs and edges on the driver where possible, and put some mileage on the chain it’ll wear into the driver.
