***Red solo cup was used to give some height to the rotor so I could read the display on the scale…cup weight was 13g so I added 13grams to my final calculation.
brake setup is like new condition. This is a complete setup meaning 4 rotors, 4 calipers, pads, brake hoses which are uncut and ABS harness. Calipers have not been removed from the calipers whatsoever. This setup is ready to be installed.
Should be minus 13 grams for true weight correct??.
No. I was adding the 13g to my totals for the weight of the cup. Only reason I put the cup there was so that I could read the scale screen with the rotor now being raised with the help of the cup.
Re: weights - I think I'm confused and happy to be corrected. If the rotor + cup weighs 8140g. That means the rotor is 8127g - min weight (8060g) = 67g of material left.
I live in Ottawa, would you be willing to meet halfway to avoid shipping?

hey Adam, I’m losing 13g due to the weight of the cup. So I am adding 13g to my final calculation to compensate for the loss of the 13g. I only had the cup there to see the scale screen.
I hope you see this in time, but I am leaving burlington, ON in about an hour to head to Nova Scotia, and can meet you off the 401.

I'm with @discopig - how does ADDING a cup to the scale result in LOSING 13g of weight?
with the cup also being on the scale it adds 13g of weight. I’m simply adding 13g to my scale reading to make up for the 13g loss. By doing this calculation it negates the cup being there by simply adding back that 13g loss. I hope this clarifies things once and for all. I’ve sold several CCB setups before with this method. The brake setup is nearly new.
i will redo all my weights trying to balance the rotor with placing my finger on each of the rotor side without adding pressure to the scale
I dont mean to be rude but thats not how that works.
If the red cup is 13g then you need to subract the 13g from the total scale reading to get the total weight of just the rotor without the cup. Adding 13g to the total would mean your adding the cups weight twice.
use the red cup. Once the red cup is on the scale then zero out the scale and then add the rotor. That will give you a reading on only the rotor. Good luck with ur sale.
