Hey Kevin, have you been to Sheldon Browns? Here's a link to their page on chains.
Chains (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/chains.html)
PARK makes an inexpensive tool that measures if a chain is worn or not. Under $10.00, I think.
One thing to do. Cheak the strech before you go out for any long bikeride.
Biking with a few friends and my chain snaps. Only after about 400km of use. Was a very long pull home.
