A chain that is too tight yes, but a chain that is correctly tensioned does not have to look like it is actually too loose. THere is no benefit in a having a chain so loose it can almost fall off is there...
I tension my chain to the same visible amount at the Rossin in above post but is perfect and has no tight spots so why have it any slacker.
And before you say it, I am a little bit too old and wise to be a stupid fixie kid.
