Weighing variator roller weights

Post by JJ Joseph »

Occasionally I'll get my variator rollers mixed up, and it's difficult to get them sorted by weight. On e-Bay, I found a small digital scale that measures to 1/100th of a gram, just right for sorting out rollers by weight. Here's the item description: 0.01g x 300g Electronic POCKET DIGITAL OZ WEIGHING Weight Precision Mini SCALE. The total cost including shipping was $7.76, and it's awesome. Amazing is that it's shipped from China in about 10 days with free shipping.
