Any ideas about the brake though ?
For adjusting a brake cable 5mm is near enough to 3/16".
Quite correct. 1" = 25.4mm, therefore 1mm = 1/25.4 = 0.039" or very nearly 40 thou.
5mm = 5 x 0.039" = .195"
3/16" = 0.1875"
4.75mm = 4.75 x 0.039" = 0.1825", so 3/16" is very nearly 4.75mm.
Enough arithmetic!
