Default Weird question: What does the "M" in M2 or M3 stand for?
I just realized that I have no clue what the "M" stands for. I know it is a softness rating, but what does it mean exactly?

It's metric. M3 means the screw is 3 millimeters in diameter.

...what was the hardness rating we used to use for skateboard wheels years ago? I cant remember now...

Anyway...

Good question...

*Answered my own question? Durometer?

...I have though the same thing...Maybe it M for MUSHY

...o-rings in shocks are measured in 'P' ? What the hell does P stand for?

I don;t think he was asking a question related to nuts or bolts, since this is a tires and wheels thread. *Hint* Proline tires are rated M2 and M3. What does the "M" stand for?

Could be. Like WD-40 stands for "water displacement" and the 40 stands for it being the fortieth formula that worked the best.

Or the M could just be something for people to worry about and ask questions.
