I'm getting faction prodigy 3.0s sometime soon and want to mount pivot 14s (I just like pivots and my local shop is corbetts don't get triggered) I just wanna know what brake width I should go with. The skis are 106 in the waist and I'm planning to mount around 2 or 3cm back from center, thanks!

Not sure why this question keeps coming up...the old school guys will tell you to bend 75s the consensus will say get 95s and tweak if necessary and one dude will say "i have 115s they're fine they never get in the way and my shop wouldn't mount 95s for me."

This is so spot on 😂
But OP, you could probably bend the 95s. The 115s might be a bit big

I was wondering the same and after reading so much about it, it didn't helped much because everyone have their opinions about it and I'll add mine to be useless too, we need pivot 105's !

I ended up going for the 115 pivots, hangs out a little but retracts in pretty good once clicked in (I can post a picture later)
I have the 95's on my Candide 1.0's and there's no way it wouldn't have fitted on the prodigy 3's
95's measured up to 102mm if I remember right, and bending the 95's brakes outward seems counter productive to avoid them catching each other...
