ive got 06 invaders and 06 chron wides.....the chron wides are 86 in the middle so i need a fat brake. Do i use the fat brake on the invaders too or do i have to switch that out too?

I don't know the correct answer to your question but if you think about it, your fat brakes will obviously be wider than normal. So think about those brakes on a relatively normal width park ski (Invaders), I would imagine they'd stick out a bit even with your boot in place. I'm not positive though.

I dont think there will be a need to change the bindings b/w the chronic and the invader. But if you ski something skinnien then you might want to change them. The reason you dont want a fat brake on a skinny ski is because the brake will stick so far out that when you go to arch your skis the brakes will hit the snow and you will end up on your side. Im in the same boat as you having both Motherships and invaders with one pair of reactors.

brakes retract in when the binding is engaged. Although Line bindings suck so maybe theres don't.

cause he went on here and saw that some kids reactors blew up... so now he hates the binding and the company... that would be my guess.
