that's a stretch of .003" in 200 miles. first stretch was .024 in 250 miles. i'd actual say that it's settling in and not getting much bigger. .003" is a frikin pubic hair is it not?
Also, shouldn't you replace at 12.0625"?
(to quote sheldon "reformed chain smoker" brown: if the rivet is less than 1/16" past the mark, all is well).
p.s. don't mind me, math not my thing + too many beers...
(i'm sure it's all there in your post maybe i need to see an equation)
...wait.
12.0625 - 12.027 = .0335"
.0335" / .003 = 11.8
...i'm getting it...
anyway. this only works if you can confirm that now the chain only stretched .003-200mi.
either way a high maintenance chain, for sure...

so, izumi v, $55 = 3000 miles.
mileage-wise that's about when i replace my chains anyway. but there is a noise issue. mine is noticably loud whenever there is light or no pressure applied to the cranks.
i have had good results w/ kmc so i may go back...
these things are hyped and priced like they're the best thing out there, & i just don't know of any chain that's as pretty...
op, glad you have your issues resolved...
