Bilanciere 163 Cast Iron Plate Pair

Bilanciere 163 is within 1%, checked on a scale rather than trusted to the mould.

Every plate is weighed on a calibrated scale, within 1%. The bore is 50 mm and cut rather than cast, so it slides on without rattling.

Flat faces, no raised rim, so they stack close on a tree and do not rock on a flat floor. It wears slowly and visibly, so you replace it because you decided to rather than because it failed mid-session.

Care
