STFU belt boy! Ummmm... are you being serious? A complete "link" of a 5 series chain is about 1" plus the inner ...no one is that stupid. Besides,even if that were possible,you can always cut it again doofus! I just did one this weekend,laid it next to it and cut,no biggie! A chain only stretches about an inch or less total.
