hi guys, im looking into checking if the chains I have removed have stretched over time. What is the overall length they should comply with? and how to reference this. thanks for reading.

When chains "stretch" it refers to wear and tear on the inside of the chain llinks that come in contact with the sprocket gears - the chain itself doesn't become elongated as such. If there was sagging or play before u removed it then its stretched
