I see that it's suggested to have about 1/2" of slack in the chain for proper tension. Does that mean that when the chain is tight, I can move it up and down by about 1/2" to 1"? Or does it mean that when looking, but not touching the chain, it should drop about 1/2" from the centerpoint between the tops of the sprockets?
I've been using the first method, and to me, this means the chain is very tight. I couldn't see getting it tighter without some struggle.
