EDIT - or even imperial version of a metric measure...

but then 1.56inch in mm is 39.6mm so actually you're right, totally bonkers

more digging (not sure why, but it was bugging me..)

it is actually 1.5625 or 1 9/16 inch so it's defo using a standard imperial size rather than making stuff up for the fun of it 🙂

I don't understand people who won't use mudguards 'cos they look shite. What does it matter? The mudguard keeps the crud off you

I (usually) don't use rear ones because they flap around annoyingly and get clogged up from time to time. Not cos of how they look.

Chris King headsets.

£125 for some bearings? Should it ever actually break I can replace my FSA Orbit four times over for that.

and Road Bikes, WTF is that about? I can't see a single bit of it that could possibly be described as fun.

Don't think anyone was saying that they wouldn't use them because they looked shite, just that they look shite. Which they do.

I use them sometimes, but they still look shite.

The attractiveness of mudguards is not subjective.
