How much longer does the chain have? Ive had bikes before, but this is the first time ive actually used it long enough to wear it down.

The chain tension can be perfect, you move it a bit and the chain becomes waay too lose.
I'm afraid I don't really understand the question. How can a chain be "loose in some areas" but not in others?

If you mean that the chain tension alters when, for example, you change gear, that sounds more like a derailleur problem than a chain wear problem. Can you explain in greater detail what is happening?
