What are the common bearing sizes for bicycles? I've always just gone to my LBS with the old one and bought a new set. I know 1/4 is for loose ball bottom brackets, and rear hubs, right? What do you use 5/32 for?

Thanks.
I use 5/32 for headsets. Sheldon Brown listed the common sizes an uses on this page
