where can I get a digital scale? I once saw a digital scale with a USB connection to the computer but it was from USA - anywhere I can get one in europe or if possible in Denmark? (KOM SÅ GUTTER)

thanks :-)

I think USB scales are not really practical.
I prefer stand alone scales.

Ultimate Support just released a new desktop scale which is perfect for weighting bike parts.
You can buy it from this eBay seller (if you are a eBay member)

You can also look into the Pelouze SP5.

Hope it helps.

Alpine makes special weights for bike-stuff - like their hangingscale is also made special for bike-weights! ;-)

"Specifically designed to weigh cycling components" means it displays only 90% of the real weight, this is a good and cheap wayto make your bikeparts "lighter".
The same kind of weights are popular with females.

Mmmm, only 90% of the real weight... That would make my bike close to 7 kg...
