So i want to mount my old p12 jibs (from 2004ish? whatever year the original troublemaker came out) but my new skis have a 95mm waist so i need a wide brake right?

well the shop(s) i'll probably go to to get my skis mounted dont have the brakes i need so it's up to me to find some. first of all, will these work? (i assume not) they're for the px bindings, as opposed to the regular nice old pivots i have

so if not, where am i expected to find 95mm brakes for my older p12 jibs?

thanks a lot. i know ive made a lot of threads about these stupid new skis but i need to figure this out ASAP

also would a 105mm brake work on my 95mm waist skis? would it hang over the edge and hook on turns?

px12 brakes won't work. I assume your brakes are 85ish right now? You can bend them to 95. A shop will not care and probably won't even notice you bent your brakes yourself.

and the shop should be able to bend your brakes for you if you want.
