yeah, I know - I didn't really mean to do that and I checked for stretch a couple of days a go - I won't even mention how bad it is - got a new one now and you're right ......On all of my other bikes I have always chainged the chain at least once a year so I've never really seen this happen (ugly)- guess it is time for a new chainring, cog, and more respect for my transportation rig!
