Yeah, that's what I had tried, but it seemed to fluctuate a bit, I think it gets me in the ball-park, though. I might try masking-taping the rear brake lever so that my digital pressure isn't affecting the result as much.

Does this scale indicate ounces and grams, as well as pounds and kilos?

Mine does, as I think they all do. Mine is amazingly accurate, I have checked it with my digital lab precision balance.

No, just pounds or kilograms. It reads to the nearest 0.1 lb/0.05 kg, but I take the accuracy at that level with a grain of salt.
