does my chain seem too tight?
Adjusted my chain yesterday and I can't tell if it's too tight or just right. Please give me your feedback

It's fine Danny.
You want to have between .8in and 1in of slack while the bike is in operation.

Thanks Chris. I did read that in the manual but I wanted to make sure. After adjusting it I went for a ride and it seemed a lot different. I guess I had to much slack before
