Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to just change the brakes on ski bindings? I have some pretty decent bindings that I haven't used much and would like to transfer them to some fat skis. The width underfoot would increase by about 25mm and I've read that you can heat and bend them but that sounds a bit dodgy to me. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Most modern bindings can easily be fitted with wider brakes. Which binding are they?

Thanks. Enjoying the site so far. Bought them for a season I did in 05/06 and they are Salomon S90 Ti I think and they have the diagonal release. I quickly upgraded my skis and have hardly used them but they have been stored correctly with the DIN settings backed off and well greased. I am pretty light for 6ft at 75kgs and can't see why I'd need a new pair with DIN settings of up to 16!! I don't intend on jumping 60ft cliffs or eating that many pies!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

One thing Salomon did good with is keeping the brakes vaguely compatible even with older bindings.
Pablito, are the bindings on a plate?

what width do you need? From memory its the same brake as a salomon Z binding or S9, I have quite a few in stock...

The bindings aren't mounted on a plate. Thanks guys, I'll check them out when I get to my apartment. I'm working away at the moment but will be in touch if I need the brakes. Cheers.
