I'll just do it up right into a nice piece of road machinery and make some shorty happy. Should be a fu ... |

I dug them out of the trash. They were 5/32's.
I found 49 of them so I assume it was meant to be 25 top and 25 bottom. Replaced with grade 25's and some wheelbearing grease. Spins pretty nicely. |

Mid 60's Gitane tandem, what size are the loose ball bearings in the headset? 3/16? 5/32? I neglected to count how many top & bottom (presumably the same)?
Thanks! |
