Hi

Idle question - is there a convention about how this movement is  
measured?  What I normally do is measure from 'top of chain at rest  
position to top of chain when pushed up as far as it will go' by  
holding a metal tape measure behind the chain (as viewed from side)  
and doing the pushing up with a screwdriver (or what ever is to  
hand).  But this always seems (or is implemented by me at least) as a  
manoeuvre most likely lacking in scientific rigour (where is the  
'tightest spot in the chain' after all...).  Would value guidance on  
this from those who know better :)
