I bought this recently

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300550918710? ... 1439.l2648

I can confirm it's very accurate. Much to my wife's annoyance i've been checking it on various known weights around the house. I've weighed bags of suger, flour the cat and parts.

My Raleigh road ace is meant to be 22lbs and it's as good as that on the scales ;)

It weighs oz/kgs too.

The cat weighed 5.1kgs by the way. Best I don't post a pic of me doing that though :LOL:
 
I'm in, too! Thanks for the heads up.

This is my current way of weighing cats, but it is uncomfortable with a bike in there instead...

We've been using them over in the MTB section or the similar variant on ebay of them.

Some even do temperature (hold one of the buttons down for a bit).

Stick an toddler in an ikea kids dirty laundry bag and you can weight them... er so I've heard ;)
 
That particular one, where you can hang what you are weighing from it, is handy for weighing a complete bike, but it's not ideal for bike parts though as it only reads to every 10g!

For parts, what you really need is a kitchen/postal type scales that reads up to say 2kg in 1g.
