the shop will for sure bend your brakes....its weird though

i was at this one ski swap like a week ago and this guy was complaining because the brakes were like 1mm smaller than the skis, and i was like "just bend them" and then i got yelled at by like 3 people because " thats not how it works" they told me to "llearn to give good advice before you give any"

every shop i have dealt with doesnt bend brakes for liability reasons. good luck. most brakes are easy to bend though. you could probably do it yourself.
