If you are indeed 'far' from horizontal then you're ok. I still think you could go longer and it would make things smoother on the larger cogs. It really doesn't matter what it looks like in the small cog as long as you have some tension on the chain. This (the large cog) is the important thing to see.
Where at in NorCal? I am headed to Fall River Mills next week/flying in to Medford, maybe Reno if that changes. Flights cancel a lot these days.

oh no! And yes, they are sometimes counterproductive. But if my dad didn’t allow me to pal around with him in the garage, I would be a pretty useless adult.
I feel bad too. I have been working from home since March. My youngest daughter is like my shadow, but she knows I am off limits all week. She can see me, but knows not to talk to me. It’s almost harder for her than me being in the office all day. On the weekends we get to catch up 😊
not a bad deal if it only cost me a $9 chain.

My younger brother RIP lived in Redding for 30+ years. We both scoffed at the idea of the Bay Area being in NorCal.
I think we both still do.

Thanks man - I ordered a new chain (the one pictured has been re-riveted, which is not my thing), I think I'll go 1 link longer and call it good. If I decide to get a 11-40t cassette down the road, I'll have the extra masterlink and can add back easily.

Talk to people in LA, they consider San Luis Obisbo and Bakersfield to be northern cal.
I had a similar experience moving to Seattle and hearing people there refer to Yakima as Eastern Washington LOL
