Look Pivot 14 Brake Question

[VailValleySkier]

I currently have a pretty much brand new pair of look Pivot 14's with 115mm brakes. I have a pair I'm trying to mount, but the underfoot is only 98mm, so obviously their too big.

Should I try bending the brakes, replacing the brakes, or should I just continue trying to sell them to get a new pair that have the right sized brakes?

The only replacement brakes I've managed to find are these and for that price it isn't worth it.

What model of pivot are they? I could be convinced to trade my pivot 14s with a 95 mm brake...

Bump, should I just bend the 115mm brakes to fit my skis that are 98mm underfoot or will that leave too much hanging over the edge?

In my experience bending brakes on Pivots are an absolute nightmare. I have the FKS 140 (Same binding) with the breaks bent in and they bent half way through the season and now theres no way I can bend it back into shape its completely stuck

So you're saying don't bend them?

Ye don't bend them will cause you trouble later on

You can totally bend breaks like 4mm, maybe 6-8mm, but that's about as far as I'd go. Bringing a 115 down to a 98 is a bit far in my opinion.

Appreciate the help guys. I managed to sell my 115mm used and buy a pair of 95mm used in a better color and for less. Really didn't think I would be able to so easily.
