You are absolutly correct. That photo explains all the chain trouble people have had with their stock chains from the git go of Hawk distribution. Chains don't really stretch. They have premature wear on the rollers and pins caused by no/poor lubrication. It is up to the individual whether to use heavy gear oil (240 weight Model A Ford steering box oil is easy to get), or the hot wax with graphite stirred in routine. Either will work...ARH
