Ive searched this and didnt find anything on bindings bigger than 100mm. Anyways, Im getting some Praxis skis that have a 125 mm waist. does anyone have any suggestions on where to get the brakes for these puppies?

Salomon makes 130 brakes for their skis, but they're expensive and shitty. I'd actually recommend just taking the brakes you have and bending the fuck out of them. Chances are you'll just step on them when you're skiing pow and bend whatever brake is on there, seems a shame to shell out $50 every time that happens.

head makes a 115 mm break for mojo 15s. killer bindings and good value and you'd only have to bend them a little.

on a side note, gir l+ 125mm waist skis =

=o

thats hot.

Just bend your current brakes.

Only requires a vice and a broken ski pole, there are some tutorials on TGR.

yeah i saw those salmon wide bindings. they are definitely pricey tho.

will have to try to get the widest breaks i can and just bend them like you said. hopefully that will work.

Salomon wide brakes, 115mm and bigger can be bent over 135mm, I used 115mm ones for my ARGs and they fit no problem. They also make a 130mm one you wouldn't have to bed. Marker also makes a 130mm brake, so Jesters or Dukes would work as well. I'm not sure how easy the Mojo brakes are to bend, same with the new px series brakes, but I know they make 110-115mm ones in each and I have seen both types of praxxises before.

Also, girl + praxxis = fucking sexy.

2 options. First, get ANY salo binding and bend your own brakes to whatever width you want. 2, if you're not comfortable with that, go on the TGR board and message a guy named mtnlion, who can send you a set of 130mm salo brakes he bent himself, for about 25 bucks.

i brought my fat skis into a shop to get mounted. i asked if they had wide breaks for my look bindings.. they did, and they didn't charge me for them.
