Clutch Weights. What Am I Missing Here?

[Radar78]

Brought home a new to me sled today. ‘19 AC Alpha with 59 miles. I get the feeling the guy I bought it from thought he knows a lot more then he actually does. Anywho. He claims the weights currently in the sled are low elevation weights (haven’t checked yet) and he threw in a new set of weights that he claimed were for “high elevation”. Sled calls for 72’s for 3000-6000 feet. So the weights he threw in in an unopened package are stamped 70’s, weighed in as 72’s, and packed as 74’s. What gives? I’m I missing something?

My 19 Alpha has the factory weights and they say J14-70. I ride mainly Golden and think the clutching is great.

Maybe I am wrong but is that scale not set to weight water ( ml ) ?

Wtf? How the hell could I have missed that? I’ll check it out tonight!

1 ml of water should weigh 1 gram though

It would be coincidental that it worked out to be exactly 72 grams per weight.

Not sure I follow what you are saying? 72 ml of water weighs 72 grams as 1 ml of water weighs 1 gram. I don't think it is coincidental, it just how the metric system works. 1000 ml of water = 1000 gr = 1 kg

Sorry I worded that wrong. I’m saying you must be right because it would be too much of a coincidence for it to not be the same conversion.

need to switch the scale to the milk setting lol

Yes I guess it would not make a differance if set on water or weight. Curious to see what the scale says. So on the milk setting it would be 74?

I think he was joking. Milk is denser (same volume weighs more) than water so I think it will show lower ml number than the water setting.
