Basically, yes.

If you think about it, you can't have the same weight on two scales at the same time ... it doesn't magically appear from nowhere and disappear once you take the bike off. It's the same principle that two guys lifting a heavy box makes it easier than one guy on his own!

Mark borrowed a set of car scales from work once and we measured mine on it to see what the weight bias was like with a plan to adjusting the suspension to see how it changed the bias.

I'll see if I can dig the pic out...
