Effect of pinching main crop figs on breba???

has anyone of you experience how figs build their breba fruits?

I once read that people (living where autumn is too cold for main crop to ripen) pinch out late flowering main crop fruit.
Well I've got the impression that whenever I pinch young fruit the fig starts just flowering the next fruit in the upper/younger part of the branch.

Now I ask myself if all those late flowering figs are lacking nexr year because they would have been breba fruit?
And if so wouldn't it be better to let main crop figs grow so that the above fruit buds to not swell and I loose them for next years breba crop?

I observed that on my large tree. When winter was mild, the unripe little guys survived and yes, became the breba of the following year. There was not that many new ones. Well, I was not that good at pruning either, so, I could have cut out all the year growth, thus having no new brebas.

This is my 2nd year with the little ones ...so next year, I should be able to share more about this. 

Some varieties with special pruning can produce more brebas.

Hi magnificco,
It depends on the weather and on the cultivar.
But here is my belief : If you pinch the figs, the fig tree has resources to continue to grow and will continue to grow.
If you don't pinch, the figs will start to grow and thus slowing down the tree's growth - and that is what I want in my Zone7 for the wood to harden.
So,
If I expect current main crop figs to ripen, I pinch half of the smaller figs .
I don't pinch the fruits if I'm not expecting any figs to have time to ripen.

As for the figlets that do come out, it is my belief, that fig trees expose 3 crops per year. So what you see is that third crop, that does get blasted by the freezing weather.
Last year some cutlivars managed to save some figlets during the winter. But to my surprise, the new brebas ripened at the same time.
The problem being that the old main crops had hits and stains because of cold damage.

So for me :
This year, I'll make sure no fig will overwinter on the trees. I'm speaking about figlets - not about buds ! - be them future leaves or future figlets .
I leave the (most of the) figs on until the leaves have felt off the trees .
