but being new I don't think I'd want it looser.
I don't understand your reasoning on this point.
Apart from the fact that a tight chain will be noisy, it and both sprockets will wear faster.
Having said that, Thuekr is right: some chain and sprocket combinations don't work well.
Put the bike on a workstand or turbo and look closely at the way the chain joins and leaves the sprocket.

Thanks.
Well I figured that as it beds in it would become fractionally looser still.
Maybe it's a bit too tight; I don't remember setting the chain so loose in the past but no worries.
I do have another couple of spare Halo cogs. I could also swap the wheel as I have a no brand screw on cog on another wheel.Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll get it on the turbo and have a play around.

I would say it's much the same seated or not. I think it could do with a touch more lube so I'll try that next ride.
Chain is perhaps a shade on the tight side but being new I don't think I'd want it looser. You can just see a small bit of droop in the middle above the chainstay...
