Bicycles should be required to be sold with a sheet of all the measurements of replacement parts. I find that buying the correct part is often the biggest hurdle in maintaining my bicycles.

Or just small details like: If you already provide a list of what rim and spokes, maybe add the size of the spoke nipples. Or what model of brake pad.
