What is the correct chain tension on a bicycle?
If the bike has external gears(several sprockets by the rear wheel), then correct chain tension pretty much is what you get when you install a chain of the correct length. If the bike is a single-speed, fixie, or internally geared, then chain tension is usually adjusted by moving the rear wheel back/forth in the dropouts. If a bike started out with external gears and later was turned into a single gear it usually has a chain tensioner mounted somewhere. Chain tensioners looks like stripped down rear derailers. Some bikes have special brackets called tug nuts going from the axle to the rear of the dropouts to keep the wheel in place. If yours are one of those then the correct tension is when:the chain can't jump off the sprockets/chainwheelwhen you push on it with a finger it should move maybe one chain width up/down:
