Does a new drive belt stretch at all. I just changed my rear pully to a 65 tooth. I was told to go with a 128 tooth drive belt. My problem is that I had to adjust the tire just past the last adjustment mark. The belt is tight but there is only an 1/8th of an inch more to go. I should have gotten a 126 tooth belt. If the belt wont stretch for awhile i will be ok. Im going to Deals Gap in April and dont want to spend my rideing time rippin the back of the bike apart.

I adjusted mine when I bought my bike from the dealer and then I didn't adjust it one time after that and that was 40k miles ago.
