Pivot Bushings for Bennetts

Do I need large or small Khiro pivot bushings for my Bennett?  The stock Bennett lasted only three sessions.

I believe it's the small one. I recently replaced it with the hard duro as an experiment. The way it's jammed in there, it's in there for good.

Is hard better though?

That's a good question. I haven't noticed any difference. It's not less turny. It's not more stable. No noise difference. Hopefully it's more durable.

I got the soft ones.  I'm tearing through them at one per three or four sessions though.  I'll try the hard next to see if they are more durable.

i haven't gone scientific on this, but it seems like the hard ones do last a little longer, and have a little less friction or 'cush' to them.   and i think the softer ones squeak a bit more, but then again, everything seems to squeak more over the winter.

I mentioned no noise difference between the duros, but I live in Florida. A cold winter day is usually mid-60's. It's been in the mid-90's lately, so no squeak issues.

So know the khiro bushing pack,  the round barrel ones don't fit in. Do you guys replace your kingpins with a longer one? or just crank down so everything will fit?

Tried to get the config going like the one on the pavedwave gear page, but big for me.
