I get why binding companies don't sell spare brakes, they want you to buy a new pair. I think that is fucked up because at least twice a year someone is stabbed in the chest by a ski because of a ski without brakes.

You can replace brakes for pretty much any binding for about $30, except pivot/fks brakes. It is possible to swap pivot/fks brakes but it is a huge time consuming pain in the ass and shops won't even touch them. It took my friend at the DPH in SLC about an hour and a half to swap one pair.

Yeah. I just got my first pair of pivots. Maybe used them 6 times. Brakes are gone. Some asshole in the ski shop broke them. I said they won't bent back, we need to cut the bad one off and he refused to listened cause I am a dumb park kid and fucking broke my binding

I know the Salomon STH series has easy brake replacements. I always go into shops and ask for them, then buy a few sets to have laying around.
