If the wheel is all the way back & no adjustment left,that about says it all.

Not if it is the wrong chain. If it is the right chain with the right number of links it should be way out of spec long before there is that much slack. That is why I wonder if it is the right chain.
I have seen stretched & worn chains & sprockets be out the full adjustment on the wheel & people contemplating taking out a couple of links to get more use out of a worn out set of chain & sprockets.
:cool:
