    The double feed is actually meant to make a significant difference from what I hear Mick.

    Checking the stretch s a better measurement of how far gone a chain is in my opinion.
    Just use a vernier gauge and measure several links.
    I usually measure a couple of links individually then do 10 link sections.
    At different points.
    If the links are excessively worn it will show up that way.
    All I can say is I love belt drive ;)
