You also don't want it too tight as it will load up the bearing. It' makes a whirring sound.

If you don't want to buy the guage, a strategy you can use is to loosen both adjusting bolts about a 1/4 of a turn until it starts to chirp on decel then tighten them up 1/8 of a turn.

Obviously this takes more time.
