First I used a 4" diameter but found it to be easier to get on but also easier to pop off. For my size RB cutting edge, a 3 inch diameter pipe worked best. 2" would have been impossible to separate and get around the cutting edge because 3" was hard enough. I cracked one on a large rock but made it thru the rest of last Winter with the replacement without a problem. I do go pretty slow after that cracked pipe incident. I'm still thinking of ways to improve the stability as there is some shifting going from forward to reverse (but is hasn't popped off yet). Wear has not been a problem. I'm in connecticut and we got fairly frequent storms last year. My driveway is 300ft gravel and another 75 feet paved at the top and bottom.
