I was hoping someone could point me to a page laying out how to do this, or at least confirm that they've done it themselves. As far as I know there are several tension settings available on the derailleur, but it requires disassembling and reassembling part of it and I don't want to go taking apart my cx bike's RD without a clear plan for putting it back together. I'm getting annoyed by how slappy the chain is on my current setup.

It's a piece of cake. Five minutes tops. The chain shouldn't be slappy though. Maybe it's too long?
