I think he means tension. Yes, thats within factory spec (25mm-30mm IIRC). Or as we do here in 'Murica 'About a long inch'.

And that was my nickname in high school
Just to make sure I understand this correctly, as I plan to do my first chain check/adjustment now as I reach my first 150 miles on my bike. In this picture the chain is at 25 mm and is nowhere near 32, so that chain is too tight, assuming the person is lifting on the chain in the picture. Is this correct? I have never done this measuring before on all my previous bikes I've owned. The 1 inch is close enough rule worked fine on my 4 other bikes I've owned. Thanks for clarifying gent's!
Thanks for the links! Very helpful. My chain is WAY too loose right now lol. Saved me damaging the bike.
It will save ur chain slider , you should here a jet sound when decel if correctly adj.
After a while I would suggest a higher quality chain. less side flapping save chain slider and both sprockets. IMO

Ya, I keep my OE chain well within specs and now need a third slider at 8000 miles. Glad they are cheap and easy to install!
