With DALMAC approaching and the chain making some whirring sounds when I pedal, I checked the chain on my M5. It measured *almost* 1/16" of stretch over 12 inches. I opted to replace it now. The durned thing only had 2 1/2 seasons, or about 7500 miles on it. I've been pretty lax in keeping it lubed, so maybe if I shape up the next one will last longer.
