chain woes

[the fat kid]

ok so the chain si supposed to have 1.2-1.6 inches of travel, but is that seated on the bike or with no one on it, it seems like if you tighten ti that tight with noone on it if you sit it gets even tighter and if you jump even tighter when landng, i dont want to snap a chain...

I was always told you should be able to fit your first two fingers in between the chain and the upper part of the swingarm while you are sitting on it.
