See what happens when you don't provide requested information? You have no one but yourself to blame for this...

Biting a mod’s words. As if we needed any more evidence.

I always liked Johnny Depp in his movies, especially Pirates, but watching the suit with Amber Heard, he’s just a f’ed up dude.
Amber is definitely psycho.
Crazy is always fun. Until it isn’t.

Oh come now. No need to waste your time on the proper authorities unless it's legitimate problem. You don't need to prove yourself to anyone, you're living the dream. Don't waste your time pressing other people's like buttons unless it's my like button, just get back up and ride some more!

I'd rather ride that bike with dead truck battery for a few hundred meters over speed bumps and giant pot holes and a few angry dogs around while wearing a pirate costume after eating tarantulas than spend a second with a lady psycho!

This is like 5 or so posts today from you that simply don't make sense. It's words that mostly go together, but don't totally flow. I can't follow what you are saying.
Unless something changes to make this worth continuing, I am out. Conversation shouldn't be this difficult.

Nah, you don't. "Stretch" means the opposite of what you're trying to talk about.
How about this: "My chain seems shorter than it should be" or "my chain seems to be getting shorter instead of longer".
Negative stretch? C'mon man!

Neither I have any idea what the few I'm responding to are talking about either.
All I have is just random speculations, ideas, words and whatever you may or may not believe, none of that is true. Garbage in - Garbage out.
I should probably figure out how to take pictures of that chain. It is much more challenging now.

But I'll be more generous and tell what it is exactly. The wear mark is going in the opposite direction. Pictures would definitely clear this fiasco if only I can get a good angle. I only have one shot at it.

My current chain seems to maintaining a negative chain stretch...
I measured it upon installation from the box and did have negative stretch back then but now, over 1000 miles later, it still had negative stretch. In fact, the amount of stretch did not seem to change at all.
No chain skipping, no issues, no problems just thought it seems weird because the Parktool channel in YT did not mention anything of that sort.

Big brained people have coined the term "negative entropy" and it means exactly as it is. They just won't admit it.
But I'll be more generous and tell what it is exactly. The wear mark is going in the opposite direction. Pictures would definitely clear this fiasco if only I can get a good angle. I only have one shot at it.

If you can find a wear pattern that actually tightens the distance between pins, you better alert the media. Meantime, there's pretty much every reason in the world to believe that's impossible, and it's not what you claimed in your op.

You have a magic bike that contracts chains upon installation. Have you considered the possibility that this is an actual miracle?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

In the time it took to read this thread, I could have installed a new chain.

I'm beginning to believe that Mr. Quaa is Larry Sellerz homeless drinking buddy.

We can be drinking buddies but maybe not riding buddies, not until he had installed his new wheel, learned how to corner, tightened his chain properly, promise to avoid super tuck, and not do anything that would annoy dogs.

Mr. Qwaalodge, kindly report to the principal's office, please. Leave your chain.
