Pivot bending brakes

[Julius_Steezer]

I'm getting 102mm Candide 2s this season and pivots. The pivots jump from 95mm up to 115mm. Has anyone bent 95mm ones up this far/further or should I play it safe and go 115?

i think you'll be fine with 95s, you might not even need to take them apart cause there will be a bit of play and wiggle in the brake.

There's a very good chance the brakes will just pop over your skis. It's gonna hit maybe 3-4 mm of ski and pop over the side.

Just to confirm, are you saying this is a good or bad thing?

95 mm Pivot brakes fit on our 105 mm skis perfectly with no bending. You should be fine putting them on your 2's.

Sweet, cheers to all of you

As KittenFactory said, it's a good thing. Better to hit and pop over a little bit than to have ~7mm of gap between your ski and brake.

Just mounted 95mm pivots on my Jeronimos which are 102mm waist, just sort of pulled the brakes out my hand a few times and they fit perfect.
