I adjusted my chain yesterday since purchasing it from the previous owner. The chain slack was able to hit the bottom of the rubber swing arm chain guide, so I didn't bother to measure the slack. I adjusted it using the tick marks near the aluminum chain adjuster block. I then measured and it was in spec and no longer hitting the rubber guide.
I took the bike for a ride and to my surprise, the bike seemed noticeably slower. It felt like the bike was being "dragged" and was trying to break free. The "snappy" feeling that made the bike throw me back once I really got on it was not the same.
Could a simple chain adjustment be the cause of this? Does it sound like I made a mistake with the adjustment?
