Standard or Metric?
« on: April 24, 2012, 08:38:08 AM »
Can someone tell me if the nuts and bolts on the Enertia are Standard (i.e. inches) or Metric (mm).

I would expect them to be standard, since it's an American product, but I could be wrong.

They're metric.
The allen (or hex) bolts holding the body panels on are 4mm.
The rear axle nut is 27mm.
The drive chain adjusting bolts and lock nuts are 13mm.

It makes me happy to see that they are using a standard that is based on science rather than tradition.

I would expect Brammo's other bikes to be metric as well, which means that I will be able to use my current motorcycle tools for the Brammo (when I get it), since my current bike is also metric. :D

Thank goodness we used Metric otherwise i would have had to buy a whole new tool kit just to work on the bikes.
it took 16 years to build up the kit i have now, wouldn't want to go through that again

Metric? Oh heck, that means I can't use my Whitworth tools left over from my 1955 Austin-Healy 100-4!  :-\
