Huh? Where do you come up with that piece of info?
I know that having an even number of teeth on the front sprocket increases
wear on the front sprocket because the teeth meet the same part of the same
link on every revolution of the chain, but how would it "increase stress in
the chain"? My BS detector started clanging on that one.

there this Monday. Woops.
