Huh? I know I'm opening a can of worms here but a "stretched" chain will cause a lot more wear on drivetrain components than a newer, properly tensioned chain and there really isn't any disagreeing with this. "Cranking up the tension until the pieces fit better again" is only creating
even more wear.
I wash my hands of this thread.
