 Poster: A snowHead

I have bindings with brakes at 80mm but want to put them on skis that are 88mm in the waist.
Is it possible to bend the brake that much?

Do a search on TGR forums' tech talk (tetongravity.com), and you'll find a video of how to do it. I extended mine from 80 to 100mm. It's very easy once you've had a bit of practice

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Is it still easy to do even if the binding isn't attched to the ski?

You'll need to Register first of course.

No, you can flick the brake out of the binding if the base plate if the plate isn't screwed securely to something, and then it's difficult to get it back in. But you could always screw it down to an 88mm wide plank of wood to bend the brake, then transfer to your ski.

unless your brakes sit really flush with your current skis, you may hardly need to bend them to fit round 88m skis. i use bindings with 110mm brakes on skis with 112mm and 120mm waists without having to do anything more technical than applying a bit of force with my bare hands

I find I can never bend a brake as far as I want to  Personally for the cost of a brake I would just buy a proper one! (they tend not to be much more than £20 for most brands)

The problem is they are an older Rossi Axial and i'm having real difficulty getting a wider brake so thought bending just a little could do the job

You know it makes sense.
|
|
have you tried them on your skis? as said it's unlikely you will need to bend them for 8mm, i have 100 on 112's without any bother.
