What size are the ball bearings inside Campy Superleggeri pedals? I've spent 30 minutes searching the web, including Bike Forums and Sheldon Brown, but have found no certain answer. (Yes, I could take my pedals and bearings to my LBS, but it's closed now. So I wanted to ask you kind folks for help!)

I'm guessing the pedal bearings are 5/32-inch? Please confirm. And please tell me if these Grade 10 bearings sound like a fair deal:

Thank you!

Campag gives 2103 as a part # for a pack of 48 5/32" balls for their traditional road/track pedals.
you may be able to find bearing balls in a lot of non bike shop places
for 5/32 " balls,
Industrial bearing suppliers sell in bags of a thousand.

Thank you!
5/32 bearings, grade 25 (much rounder than grade 100 - used on other bikes of that era). Today bearing tech has advanced so much that grade 10 is affordable and so you can get even higher-quality bearings but it probably doesn't matter as whatever size you get they eventually grind themselves all to be a matched set with high roundness.
