    Just seems a bit suspect to say it has 0.1g precision if a single bean which weighs more than 0.1g can’t provide the force to register

    It does have 0.1g precision. It just doesn’t have 0.1g accuracy.

    (But not a single mention of the terrible driving that this is causing and the danger it puts us all in – as long as we get our presents under the tree, that’s what matters, eh?)

    Aha! So now the merit of the wtjs (patent pending) italicized message beginning becomes apparent!

    Odd that you got a message saying ‘too strong for the test’ on Zwift?

    Possibly some kind of ‘kiosk mode’ available to bike shops who don’t want people hammering their display models to destruction?
