i just got a set of k2 recoils and they have a width undefoot of 90mm. i was wondering if i bought a binding with 90mm brake if it would hit the ski or if it would be too skinny for the ski. any advice would be great. thanks!

If they are salomon bindings then they will 100% fit with no tweaking

Mostly plastic toe but steel where it counts in the heel. A decent binding for sure

alright sounds good because the atomic ffg 14 had either a 90 or 130mm option but the 130 would be way to big for 90mm waist on my recoils haha

When saying that the brake is 90mm wide, it doesn't mean that the brake is actually 90mm wide, it means that it will fit skis up to 90mm.
