so i just got new anthems. i fuckin love em and want to mount my bindings real soon. i was planning on using the bindings i used on my old skis. problem is the anthems are much thicker than my old skis so the brakes on my bindings dont fit over the anthems. can you replace brakes? or do i need new bindings?

What kind of binding do you have?

Yes you can replace them, sometimes you can bend them.
You are most likely going to need to order new brakes from the binding manufacturer.

Anthems aren't wide at all. Bend them shits.

Ha haaah hahahah ahhahahaha


Anthems are 93 mm underfoot buddy. It's not 1999 anymore. That's not wide. My all mountain sticks are 100mm. "Wide" these days usually suggests 115ish plus.

take them to the shop to get them mounted, when they go to mount them they'll either bend the brakes or replace them with the right size.

Axiums are Look PX bindings. This is what you want:

Look PX brakes are made with cheap, metal bars. Try to bend them first by heating the bend with a torch and using a braker bar to bend it. Buying new brakes is the worst that can happen.

They are park skis, so they are wide.

If they were all mountain skis they would be average and if they wer pow skis they would be on the thin side.

Bingo!
