You adjust the tension by turning the adjuster barrels on the shifter or derailleur. The proper tension would be found when the gears are shifting properly. There really isn’t a set tension, you just have to make sure that it works. Each bike is different.

Wanted to know if there is an adjustment I can make to get the chain to rotate freely backwards. All the gears seem to shift smoothly going forward, but chain will slack up when pedaling counterclockwise. Does this mean I need a new derailer or possibly a new chain? Thanks! Great video.
