Yeh I didn't think that looked right when I was having a look at the chain, will get the nib changed.

Sprocket doesn't looks too shark toothed either - sure that's done near 20k?

Yes the chain is a bit more 'slack' than it should be in my opinion when riding, I can certainly feel it when gradually accelerating, I'm sure a V isn't like that. I started to notice it a bit more on Sunday, have only had a little ride yesterday to see how it felt and needs tightening
Just the doing part now!

It needs to be tightened slightly, a friend also pointed this out to me. I'm gonna clean it all over this weekend, rear sprocket is dirty as.
