Winter is coming: Pivot 14/15, Strive or STH2???

[J. Barron DeJong]

I'm fully invested into pivot15/18s and old salomons. Salomons for the pure pow boards and carvers, pivots for everything in between. Veeeery curious about the SPX15 rockerace though. Might go that route in the future.

Can you get brakes wider than the default 80mm brake for those, or are you only thinking about putting them on skinny skis?

I looked once, and the lower level SPXs have a range of brake withs available, but the low level 80mm brakes had a different part number than the one on 15/18, so I assumed they weren’t interchangeable.

(And I wasn’t too invested in it, so didn’t dig any further than that.)

Yep! According to a few sources on skitalk, you can use the old px15/18 brakes (race brakes) on the new spx15 and apparently 18.

Not suuuper curious about this, since pivots always can be had pretty decently priced, but I do think there is some merit to the wider mount pattern of the newest gen.

I know some are using the Rockerace bindings on flat skis and hacking the jig set ups and brakes but I still wonder about Look saying they should only be used with the plates. Maybe on skis with metal under the bindings along with helicoils and I’d stop wondering/worrying. The race bindings also have a lot of delta so I’d probably want shims under the toes. The plates have a step to level them out some.
