On the tight side, some may say to tight.
Ride it for a bit it should slacken ever so slightly once it settles. Be perfect then
I ride a tighter chain I perfer it
Do your cranks spin around easily? If they stop suddenly it’s too tight.
Too tight, if you feel your hub “grinding” when pedaling slowly it’s too tight
That is too tight for my liking,
I usually leave a quarter of an inch of play up and down. Or unless I get chain slap on my stays.
I love a tight chain, others do not.
It’s tight but doesn’t seem toooooo tight.
