You can make the brakes as wide as you want if you aren't an idiot.

yes, i can, but imo having to bend brakes takes away some of the value because there's a risk of them breaking and it takes some time, and i would say 210 is high for these regardless of brakes

yea it only takes like 2 hours a vice and some other toools to bend em...esp if you havent done it before, then you can snap the brake off or break the spring plate or mounting plate. these are worth 150 shipped....ill give you 135 shipped.

i priced these high in hopes of receiving offers. 135 and 150 will not cut it though. come on guys. you all say you want these. i got a pair. don't low ball me.
and as far as the brakes go. i have no sympathy there. i have had to bend all my brakes myself. suck it up butter cup.

don't drop it too low man. People are just bitching because they don't have enough money. They are becoming rarer and rarer. You will get $210 if you just hold out.

Don't fall victim to the price police. They are worth $210 and everyone knows it.

I did mine in about 45 minutes with no previous experience. All you need is a vice, a screwdriver, and a piece of pipe. It's really not difficult at tall.

i can take apart and put together the bindings in under 10 mins it's just the bending and measuring that takes a while, you also need a good vice

thats what im sayin u buy these bindings for 210, then u gotta drop 60 on a vice, drill it into a work bench you may or may not have, and you may or may not have a drill.... bend the brakes hoping they dont break, then put the shit back together without breaking any of britle plastic thats involved. there are like 5 other sales that people didnt sell this binding at 160 dollars. these bindings dont get rarer and rarer because they dont break.

there are 10 pairs of these for sale on tgr right now for alot less too.

and the mounting pattern of the heel is too narrow to use with a ski with out metal in it. especially if you are hard on your eqiptment. your gonna pull a fat chunk of your ski out. look at my old elizabeths.....

people get so stoked on how rare fks are, yet there is always at least a few pairs for sale at any given time on ns, much more than any other bindings except sometimes pivots or px.

Maybe you should just quit posting here, not buy them, and let someone else pay what they're worth.  A binding doesn't lose value because it rips out of a super soft wide ski--or because someone is too lazy to bend the brakes.  I would probably pay $210 for these if I needed a set, but the beauty of FKS's is that once you have a couple pairs you don't need any more.

Mounted way too close to the other fks holes.  Thats why it ripped out.  Thats the techs fault.

Wow, epic failure.


These are worht $210 shipped, no question.
And bending the brakes takes like 30 mins if you're not completely moronic...I never use a vice to bend them either, an old ski pole and some vicegrip pliars is basically what you need.
