Inexpensive Hanging Scale For Bikes?
I am succumbing to weight weenieism and would like to buy a hanging scale to weigh my bikes. Can you guys recommend an inexpensive digital hanging scale, suitable for things from 10 lb to 40 lb, that reads to 1 gram and is pretty accurate?
Yes, I have tried balancing the bike on my kitchen scale. Yes, I have tried holding the bike on my bathroom scale. Yes, I could stand to lose a few pounds myself. Yes, I am ashamed of myself.

I am using this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/20g-40Kg-Dig...item19d3ce8dac
It is only accurate up to 10 grams, good enough for me though.

For smaller items I bought a small gram scale also on ebay for less than $10.

I used to use a lab scale that my mother owned, it read down to the milligram (spelled overkill) but was probably only accurate to a 10th of a gram. You couldn't use it for a whole bike (max load was like 5lbs or something) but I had used it for a few components out of curiosity. I was looking for it the other day and my mom had apparently given it to my younger sister's school because she never uses it. Damn kids and their education.

Okay, I ordered a scale. American Weigh SR20, $13 on Amazon. Seems like decent quality, from the reviews.
Guilt consumes me. I reach for a donut.
