Replying to Brakes too wide??
Ok so bought a pair of Lizzies this year and decided on some Salomon STH bindings. The brake options were 100,115 and 130 so i went with 115 to cover the 110mm waist of my skis.
I figured this would be fine as my look bindings were around the same difference on my old skis and fit pretty flush. However when i looked at the salomon brakes i realised they were different. The look brakes form a 90% angle but the salomons are above 90% so they point outwards a bit. When i put them up to my skis they apear to stick outwards alot more than my old setup.
What i am wondering is if anybody has ever had an issue with brakes being too long and catching the snow or each other. They are only 5mm bigger than my skis so i would assume it shouldn't be an issue but when i look at them it seems like it might be. Would i be better off to buy 100's and bend them?
Thanks guys
