Correct chain tension, is maximum tension without the drivetrain binding at any one spot (should spin as freely as if the chain was super loose). This minimizes the chance of chain drop and gives the best feel. Almost every drivetrain will have a tight/loose spot.
Yep, I know it's too loose, it fell off for crissakes. And for the proper tension you just rephrased what I quoted of Sheldon Brown in the last bit. This post was mainly an fyi to others, and I was wondering is it normal for the chain to loosen a little after only 100 miles or am I not torquing the nuts enough?
