Check Your Chain

I have just learned that your chain can stretch!! Who knew??

But apparantly it seems that if your measure your chain for a full twelve links, if the distance is longer than twelve and one sixteeth inches pin to pin, it’s time to replace the chain. If it is over twelve and one eighth inches, then it is probably necessary to change the cassette as well.
