Oh, I knew we were talking about CABLES. But my comment was directed at CHAINS since they seem made of much stronger materials and, I guess, according to some, cables stretch was their windings can kind of, well, unwind. But chains are linked together pieces of metal. And, I understand, chains to stretch since they sell gauges to measure them before they damage the cassette.
