I'm on a new Hybrid with a 1 x 10 setup. Mid range components Shimano derailleur etc. What I have noticed is that if I pedal hard in a mid to high gear and the step off the gas to freewheel the chain goes slack suddenly before it catches up. It's almost like the freewheel doesn't engage quite quick enough or the rear derailleur isn't tense enough to take up the slack and you get this kind of chain slap.

What is this most likely to be or it it just normal on this type of setup. I have never noticed it on any of my previous bikes.

Thanks
