I can definitely feel bushing hardness when I swap all of them. Hard to soft is a huge difference to me, soft to medium is noticeable, medium to hard is more subtle. I like the harder toe / soft heel differential I've been running the past few years.

I genuinely don't know If I can really tell with this crazy hodge-podge arrangement, especially first day out on a brand new deck (Aero). But I had a good day and I got all the bushing variations anyway, so I'll keep doing it.

When I had the Jones Merc, I noticed a big diff from Hard, to Soft/Medium bushings. Hard was WAY too overkill for the feel I like (more smoother transitioning from edge to edge), swapped them out asap and felt better on the mediums (or soft, I can't recall between the two).

Still haven't been out this season, and may not for a while with our 2nd newborn arriving few weeks ago, but hopefully can give my Select Pros a spin in the coming month or two.

Trying Now again. Did not like the early Drives or Selects I had in the past. Picked up the Drive Pro and I’m really liking them.

Did you have the first gen Drives with the metal discs? Those were pretty crap.

Still have mine in rotation. Though, they're least used. Outside of being a little bit heavier I don't know if I notice too much of a difference.

After careful deliberation that included nothing but the desire to tinker with my gear while I waited for the snow, I swapped out all my Now straps to Burton react ankle and supergrip toes and threw on the ankle flex sliders for good measure...

Prior I had just swapped to B ratchets and while the Now straps (like sieva) are pretty good and I rode them just fine, I think the swaps to full B straps is still an upgrade and felt really good while riding. I'm really liking the flex ankle sliders too.

I don't recall ever having issues with them riding, but had a bunch of other issues with them. The little teeth washers make mounting bindings annoying as hell, especially mid-day. And even by my standards I chewed through the stitching of the ankle straps real quick... thank goodness for injection-molded straps.

I don't really remember. I do recall issues with the really narrow heelcup and just overall fitment issues. I guess they were the H1 hangar versions, so these are completely different. I just have a day on these and they're so much better.
