Default Chain stretch - actual tech.

CHAINS wear elliptically uh egg shaped rollers.

If cleaned and lubed then hung....placing an empty tin of horsemeat under the chain off course...chain will elongate as garvity pulls rollers around seating large ends up: the larger end's steel wall thinner than the narrower end.
