maybe a bit loose, still rideable though
That’s how I run mine
Maybe I’m over-cautious, but I want to be able to bounce a tennis ball off of my chain tension. I’ve had loose chains jump off the rear cog going downhill into traffic *too many times* to be comfortable with that flailing tube man-level of slack.
I would try to get it a tiny bit tighter.
Perfect amount of slack tbh
Eh, could tighten up a little bit. If you want to test it I believe Park Tool has a video for chain tension.
