Brake bending length

Sorry if this has already been asked, could not find it in the search bar...

Anyways, would bending 100mm brakes to fit on a 115mm ski be too far to bend? Or should I just spend the $50 extra for 120mm brakes?

The bindings are Dynastar PX12 and the skis are Dynastar 6th Sense Huge.

Thanks for the assistance

yeah, buy the right brakes. 15mm is wayyy too much to bend.

i bent brakes that previously fit a 98 waist ski to fit my 111 waist lizzies. thats pretty close to what you gotta do, and it wasnt hard at all. might as well try, if they break then go buy the other ones, if not you just saved yourself some cash.

i fit 80mm brakes on to 94mm waisted skis, but I had to shave the plastic of the inside of the brake arms and the brakes ended up breaking in a couple of weeks skiing time. Just buy the right brakes. Broken brakes can ruin your day, trust me, haha.

Thanks sir. I get mixed feelings whenever I ask a tech or avid skier.
