Chain stretch - actual tech.

I just came across this; http://www.cantitoeroad.com/docs/con...ns_Stretch.pdf I can't see whether the stretch was plastic or elastic. The length doesn't appear to have been measured again with a 10kg load. If it's plastic ... ouch! I hope it's not. I don't think it can be. 0.5% under 150 kg load. 39 tooth CR has a radius of about 79mm, and 175mm cranks gives a force multiplier of 2.2. A 75kg dude could easily stretch a stretchy chain 0.5% just by standing on the pedals. Tech on wreck.bike whooda thunk it. Chains with holes are faster not just lighter. Chain stretch is actually good, it can smooth out your power delivery for an overall net gain in efficiency. Combined with oval chain rings it can slingshot you down the road!
