Sweetspot pivots

Aluminum Homegrown bushings: 44mm OD, 38mm ID, 2mm flange thickness
Exact Homegrown bushing measurements: 44.03mm OD, 38.06mm ID

S-series and Carbon (both S-Series and Homegrown) bushings: 42mm OD, 38mm ID


Rich Adams: Looks like the HG bushings need to be custom made from Tercite (igus G300, L280), but you can still get the bushings that fit the S bikes and the carbon FT. The length will need to be cut down, but that's not too hard. Not positive, but I'd bet these would fit perfect.

Mark Rhomberg: I remember the best bushings we tested were specially machined from a blue material. Poly pro with Teflon embedded? They were too expensive to produce en mass. I think 6x more expensive. The close second was the HG bushing pictured above. Igus bearings tend to chew through the aluminum pivot so make sure you replace the pivot.
