WOW!!
I've never heard of that.
Yes, for a 6 or possibly 7 speed.
Denver,
Put me down for someone who did it. Brand new Madone 5.2. Biking in Florida 100 miles/day on a trail. Clean and lubricate the Chain every day. Hardly any rain (was winter). The bike started to act up after 10,000 miles of it. I was training for CC Tour for 120 days.
I replaced everything the chain touched. Several hundred dollars.
I check the chain for stretch but find little evidence of it. I use high cadence biking with not too much sprinting or standing while biking.
