I got a pair of Sick Day 104’s i want to get some bindings on. I’ve always been a fan of Look Pivots as I’ve had an injury in the past that makes me not trust too many other brands. Thar said the Pivots only come in 95, 115, and 130mm brake widths. Would i be alright putting the 95’s on the 104’s and bending the brake out? Or do i have to look into another brand with something closer?
What bindings for Sick Day 104?

I have 110 mm brakes and they barely fit over my skis. Def get the 115s
I ride the 2020 Sick Day 104 with a Pivot 14 115mm Brake (Not worth it to bend em).
On this specific ski, in my experience, get a Griffon, a Warden 13, Shift (if you ever want to tour at some point) or an Attack 13*, and let me explain:
Biggest issue I've had with pivots that i'm curious to see what other people have had is the forward pressure plastic piece.
Twice (on Sick Day and a Line Blend) the piece has broken on both the right and the left bidning, causing both heel turntables to be replaced.
It has been a pain in the ass and Im switching to a Shift binding next season, beginning to build my touring setup.
All in all, I think it might have something to do with the stiffness of the ski, as I've never had an issue with the FP piece with a pair of K2 Poachers (a lot stiffer) I once had. Get one of the bindings listed above, it will save you a headache.
*Unless you want to deal with warranties.

I'd say shift as well but they can be kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.

guys, come on. Not a lot of good advice here and it upsets me
i have 115m pivots on my SFBs. Theyre way too big and get caught up especially when skiing switch.
i have 95 mm pivots on my jeffrey 108s. THEY FIT PERFECT. snug, no sidewall scraping, no real bending, and they retract fully. Get 95 mm brakes op

Correct, 115's are huge brakes.
