It's easy to think you have it right then move the wheel a couple of mm and it can really tighten it up.
Take it for a spin to feel if all is okay, then on return give the chain a good spray with lube while it's still warm.
Quick question, I've never been too sure of exactly how tight the chain should be. When you say 35mm play - do you mean if you lift the chain there's 35mm, or do you mean if you push the chain up and there's 12.5mm and push the chain down and there's 12.5mm that's right?
