No, the 2-3% elongation is regardless of standard. The reasoning behind that is because chain is case-hardened to a certain depth, regardless of pitch. Generally the first few .001" range of upper material is hardened and when it wears through you're running bare untreated metal on metal. The...

Understanding chain elongation and how to predict failure Hey guys, So I have been riding around the woods for a while now and it's time to change my drive chain and I figured I would give a brief walk through on understanding when/how your chain wears and how to predict failure. I see a lot...

Hey bud thanks for the welcome. I raced with SPSU Motorsports (now KSU Motorsports) out of Marietta, GA. It was definitely a great learning experience but the only advice i can give is that if you're looking to race, go volunteer at NASA and get free track weekends. It's a lot better and faster...
