Let me see if I'm understanding this correctly. You run the chain super tight until everything is totally shot then replace the chain, cog, and chainring all at once? How long does your stuff last? I don't see how this is better than running it at the proper tension and just replacing the chain as necessary.
Also, the types of forces you're talking about certainly can't be good for your IGH, or the efficiency of your drivetrain.
