Track slack are fine for track (obviously) but a bit risky on the road especially without a front brakes.
My way is for the chain to look straight, but lots of movement up and down.
Don't go too tight, it will accelerated wear and tear as well as binding the chainring, you can feel it when there's an obvious soft rihihihihihim feel from pedalling.
