Did you change you sprockets when you put on the new chain? The sprocket teeth will bend with the chain as it stretches so when you put a new chain on it, it will start stretching just like the old one just faster this time.

I need a new chain and was looking for an O-ring chain. Which brand? and whats the length,, somewhere I thought I read it was 88 links..

And another, my sprocket looks fine so do I really need to chain it too?

are u sure the chain is stretching or could your carrier just be turning ( u may not have it tight enough ). Or if chain is stretching are these O-ring chains or just standard chains ( standard chains do stretch pretty quick ).
