I've been campaigning this for a while now...
I'm a firm believer that the adder only works to accelerate the 'stretch' of the chain anyway. By having that super sweet & tight initial assembly (because of the adder) you end up making the stretch process happen even faster because there is more tension in the chain at the starting point. Not to mention, with fairly tight chains, even the initial process of getting them on the sprocket can accelerate this (if you're creating closed loops and trying to 'jump' them onto the sprocket).
I'm anti-adder and pro-tension-it-the-'right'-way or just come up with a solid maintenance plan to replace your chains every X hours.
I'm Brandon Holley, and I endorse this message.
