On even further thought when a checker is used with a spring loaded chain tensioner (a der as example) it's the spring's tension that initially controls the amount of pressure one can apply to the checker. IME this spring tension falls within a relatively small range. Press on the checker so the tensioning device has some "play out" but doesn't bottom out. This will control the pressure on the checker to a fairly narrow range. Andy
