Yeah, wow. I guess I haven't been here long enough to realize what gets the members riled up. Maybe I should have said it's only .19685 inches...
I've been on board the metric train for quite some time, but most people who learn it still convert over to inches for practical comprehension. Sort of like ESL users translating things in their head, back to their native language.
If you really want to have fun, or get so frustrated your head wants to explode, go into an auto shop here and start talking tire sizes(P245/50-16, etc.); you wouldn't believe how many people who install them for a living don't really understand the sizing...
On a related note; the shorter cranks(175mm to 152mm) came in for my mini-velo/MTB. No more scrapping the pedals.
