I've picked up a few sets of older Mavic SL wheels. One has a worn nylon bushing allowing significant movement in the cassette. I was looking to order a new body and found this replacement bushing set...

I didn't think about needing an oversized replacement, but this seems better than buying a body with the stock diameter bushing in it. It also comes with other pieces at a cost savings. Also says it uses a more durable material than the nylon. Any thoughts on this?

Can't really say more than this except that this nylon bushing design has always been a POS, and it astonishes me that a company like Mavic took all that years to fix this extremely bad engineering with the release of id360 freehubs.
