Brakes on new pivots

Why dont they make wide brakes for the new pivots, 116 just does not cut it on most powder skis anymore.  Would a 130 really be that hard to offer?

What I am annoyed at is there is no way to buy replacement brakes.  They want people to buy the new ones, that's all well and good, but come on that's not an issue.  These bindings would sell regardless just because of the following.  To not have aftermarket availability of the brakes because they would be used on old versions is ridiculous.  So, what if my brakes on the brand new ones break?   Sorry we don't  make/sell them.  What, am I supposed to buy a new pair of bindings if my brakes break lol?

From my understanding, you can replace the brakes on the NEW FKS bindings.  It's just gonna cost you in the vicinity of $100-120 (it's actually not just the brake but a whole lower assembly).  But it's definitely true they don't have them in yet.  Only the first wave of bindings has hit the US, parts are still on a boat.  I can check on that today.
