Noob question. The LBS really tightened my chain when flip flopping from single speed. What would be the easiest way to add a bit of slack? I have zero slack by abirqasem Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair

You add a link (or a half link) and move the wheel back.
Why do you want slack?

Thanks a lot. That is the plan

Break the chain and add a link or quick link.
