Lame

Buying a pair of look pivot 14's and trying to decide between 115mm and 130mm brake cause I've heard 1) these brakes are hard to bend and 2) these brakes are impossible to swap out cause they don't sell 'em separatley

These bindings would be going onto a Faction royale ski that is 122mm waist... although you gotta figure the brakes will be going over a slightly wider part of the ski,.... so maybe 125mm where the brakes go?

Is there any problem with having brakes that are a bit too big for your skis (like the 130mm would be? )

you should be fine with the 130s, 8 mms isn't that big of a difference at all, that's only 4 extra mm on each side, that's almost exactly 3/20ths of an inch(for reference) sticking out on either side, that's a pretty small difference, also the accepted industry standard for biggest difference is 15, so I see no reason why they shouldn't work.

now that I re-read your post, with a 125 width 130 will be absolutely perfect.
