Chain slack can be different on different bikes. There is no standard measurement for all bikes. The amount of chain slack is determined by chain length, swing arm length, and rear suspension travel among other things. It is better to be a little slack than a little tight with the chain slack on most bikes. There are no hard and set rules written in stone that apply to all bikes.
Oh, that was a lie about rules. They all get dropped eventually. :whistle:
