That seems logical to my mind.
Still though if accurate then Campagnolo's way of measuring chain
wear/stretch may be faulty (pic below)
Which is what I use with my dial caliper & my old chain measures 5.19" or 131.82mm?
But as to your bet...I did run the new chain today on my same cogset, no skips at all & perfect function. I will say it was a wee bit quieter & perhaps shifted a hair better than the old chain...mostly noticed on small to big ring front changes.
Lastly I had my mileage on the last chain wrong. I forgot I spent two months out of country on a different bike so subtracting those miles this Campy Chain had 9,552 miles on it
