    Pivot brake width?

    Seems 106mm ski is one of those tweeners for pivot brakes. Would you rather have the 95 or the 115 brake for a 106mm ski?

    On most 106s you can tweak/bend the 95mms to fit, snug but it works.
    YMMV

    FWIW, I just put some 95's on a 104 ski without any tweaking.

    Would the 75s fit an 83mm ski?

    Anyone tried a 115 brake on a 125 ski?

    Been there, done that. 115's are pretty wide. I hang the brakes on each other regularly.

    I'd bet you could get 95's to work, but it'll take some tweaking. Could also depend on sidewall shape.

    I’ve got 115 brakes on a couple 122mm skis with zero tweaking or bending. I bet 125 would be fine

    95’s on 106 all day. Some people run 95’s on 108’s though I run a 115 on 108. Prefer not to have that much extra stress on the brake arms. 115’s on 125 can be done as well. I run 130’s on 126’s.
