Hi NS, my ski brakes stick out to far, so when I'm turning it digs into the snow. I have tried bending it but then the brake can not stop the ski when I eject. Could I have some specific help on what to do? Thanks.

Well thats a 115 brake on there, what waist is you ski? The brakes should sit up on the top sheet when up and open out wider when the binding is realeased. Looks like your have been very much messed up by whoever tried to bend them. Take them to a salomon deeler and get the correct size brakes.

Thats the standard Solly brake pattern I think, hard to tell without looking at them from another angle.

Go to a shop, ask for some narrower brakes. Shops usually have a crapload of smaller brakes since the demand is for the larger ones.

there are a couple places online that sell sth brakes. for example:


replacing brakes is easy especially on salomon as it's only one screw on the top and two tabs on the front that hold it all together.

You'll probably have to buy some new brakes, if your shop is nice they'll trade you
