No dude...25mm is the standard bore size of a 6205 or 6305 ball bearing. The bearings with inch dimensions are more costly(at least in the industrial market) and not nearly as common. I know it can cause some pain trying to change from one to another, but in the long run, the metric dimensions are better because they are more common.

 

Yes, I pretty much knew that, just being a little sacarstic. They honestly should have done that when they went to the 1" to begin with. Metric bearing sizes are always easier to get and were somewhat less expensive.

I started to state what JakeDog did but then I left it alone.

 

That makes me feel better now, after I stuck 32mm handlebars on my bike. I was starting to feel like a traitor.

Hey, as long as they don't get their bolts and bearings from Kury I'll be okay. Metric nor Standard wrenches fit their freaking bolts!!!
