Don't worry, they say we will be all synchronized with the rest of the

It was brought to my attention that most bicycles come with metric
dimensions these days, so for the sake of completeness,and to be politically
correct, I include the following easy to remember conversions:

.005" = .127mm
.006" = .1524mm
.033" = .8382mm
