Would a 114mm brake (Look Pivots) hang out wayyyyy too much on a pair of Armada Halo's 82mm waist??? +K
I did the math and should be hanging out .6 inches on each side i think.

Well I want to get some quiver killers for my pivots and want to be able to use them on my Armada Halo's (82mm waist) and my Surface Live Life 2's (112mm waist) and was wondering if its even worth it to do so.

you could buy a second pair of brakes and swap them out every time you change skis. they are really easy to take off and put on

i can say from experience that this is a bad thing. got locked together popping out of some trees into powder and ate shit hard. it only happened once in 4 years so you could take that chance

yes... they are. You should instead buy a pair of Mojo 15 bindings. They are just as solid, and are much cheaper. They just don't have quite the same grip on that thar heel. But I don't mind.
