Inspect the derailleur for any bending. Check cable tension for both front and rear derailleurs. Ensure the chain is clean and lubricated. A tune-up by a mechanic may be needed.

Rattling noises from the bike

Check that all bolts are tight, especially those for accessories, stem, and handlebars. Inspect the headset and seatpost for looseness.
