Default Digital Precision Scale to weigh bike components $20

$20 bucks. New in box.

Okay if you're a total weight weenie cyclist you need your own digital
scale to geek out with.

You can weigh your components and obsess over whether SRAM Red really
is worth the extra moolah...
You can finally justify your rant as to why XT thumbshifters are sooo
much better than push/pull modern stuff.
You can set up your fixie with just the lightest vintage old high zoot
drilled stuff that lines the nooks and crannies of Yellow Jersey.
You can finally 'know' that using downtube shifters on Kelly Take-Offs
with vintage drilled brake levers is "way" lighter than an STI brake/
shifter setup, and have crisp 10 speed indexing.

You NEED this scale.

Every gram you take off your bike will equal something or other off
your triathalon/hillyhundred/competitive group ride time.

Its precise to within a tenth of a gram. Heck, the Park DS-2 is only
accurate to within 2g:

Has a programmable piece count/weight function perfect for counting
out brass nipples/washers for building wheels. Tare function. Can be
calibrated with 500g standard weight any time you get the
compulsion...

1000g max capacity. Comes with tray for holding bigger things to weigh
(cranks, seatposts, hubs) which you (use the Tare function to reset to
zero).

Yes its that precise and that small (yes that's an 8 speed barcon
shifter and yes it only weighs 88.9g). What's geekier than a digital
scale to weigh your barcon shifters? Show the STI crowd how bloated
they really are!

This is a $45 scale:

I got a deal on a bunch and thought I'd pass it along to anyone else
who wants to Geek out!

$20 bucks. New in box.
