    The folded portion can easily be ground off and it will perform much better.

    Yessir, that’s SOP for me once it’s time to sharpen them. I grind the extra width off and also thin the front of the raker to reduce weight further. It’ll never make good race chain but anything that I can do to reduce drag/mass will help.
