This morning was forecast 2 Deg C and sleet with snow on high ground so I thought I'd give the bike a miss and go to work in the car. This gave me an opportunity to do something I've been meaning to do for a while which is to accurately weigh the floats. I've weighed them at 15 grams on an uncalibrated scale at home which suggested they were getting heavy. I whipped them out and took them into the science lab where they have a much more accurate scale.
They weighed 16 grams !
While not quite sinkers that isn't good. I believe they are supposed to weigh 13 - 13.5 grams.
Anybody weighed their floats either new or old ?
-
New floats are even lighter than I thought.
Measured on a fancy lab balance that reads in grams to 3 decimal places a new float weighed 12.495 Grams. Call it 12.5

Just did this. My new ones weighed in at 12 grams on a digital kitchen scale. The old ones were barely floating.
