Get the ruler, measure the old bearings, order the Grade 25 bearings in that size. Or your LBS can measure the old ones and supply the Grade 25 replacements. Don't mess with cheaper carbon steel bearings, Grade 25 are worth the small added cost.
At first sight this blue ruler looks very nice, it is just impossible to read as some idiot put the decimals on short lines instead of the longest. Blue on blue isn't great either. A cheapo Lifu is miles better for spokes, for everything else get a $10 digital vernier
