Oooh, careful there. It Depends, is the full answer. Some designs are quite chaingrowthy and need a bit more slack so that they can fully compress without issues, especially in the big/big gears. It's still a good starting point, but it's a good idea to let the air out and fully compress the suspension to check.

Look at this vid - they're talking about DH bikes but the process should be the same for any full suss.
