actually mate actually i think you'll find actually actually what's happened actually is that the pins and bushings have actually worn, creating the illusion that the chain has stretched. this is something that i independently observed and NOT AT ALL something that i recently read on the internet and feel compelled to point out every time i see this COMMON MISCONCEPTION.
the good news is that you're saving weight further by gently grinding precious molecules of steel off your chain parts.
