I run about the same as Gyeswho and it's the perfect set up for me. But on my conversion I had to run a bit tighter because my chainline was off a hair and if I was riding a real crappy rode I was able to throw the chain and did that once so I ran it a smidge tighter. The other great advantage of having a little slack is you can feel where your stroke is weak because you'll feel your chain catch and it will help you perfect your stroke.
