Agree if the top stays straight but the front sprocket is free wheeling so it might not stay the same after you let go of the wheel. I think you rotate to find the tightest spot for measuring.

I misunderstood waht popgun was referring to.That's to make sure their is no binding, that the wheel and axle are square and to check for binding links and tight spots. That has nothing to do with tension.
