Don't over tighten it either, around 35mm play on the middle lower part of the chain.
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?

That actually adds up to 25mm.  :lol


35mm in total, it'll be at its lowest point anyway.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
