Your local bearing shop can get whatever you want, metric or imperial.

method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a
newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These
will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

But not, as it appears, a bearing with an imperial OD of 1+3/8 and a
metric ID of 17mm. Well at least not the company i tried to get
bearings from anyway. Maybe i will have luck elsewhere, but was given
the impression that this bearing would not be available anywhere.


So ream out the wheels...if you can't take off .075mm with a bit of
emery you don't deserve to be posting in UK.d-i-y
Cheers
