Just wondering, when i am on the 4 biggest sprockets i get a bit more noise from the bottom jockey wheel then in the medium/smallest sized sprockets.
Is this normal?

Probably because its where the chain is at its highest tension combined with being at a high angle from the chainline.

At the other end, you still have the high angle, but less tension on the chain.

Can't say I've really noticed before though
