whats the width on the breaks? thats what matters.
if not, you can just buy new breaks somewhere, im pretty sure markers have that option.

you just need to have the width be wider than the waist of the ski. from the website the squire only comes with 110 width max, which wouldn't fit the chetlets 123 waist. you can maybe buy other brakes, talk to someone at your shop about it.

If worse comes to worse then you could allways ride them with leashes lol ... some places might be reluctant to bend a 110 for a 123 ski but some shop will probably do it

Just make sure the brakes are within ~20 mm compared to the width of your skis. I ride the Hellbents which are 132 underfoot and my bindings were originally made for 115 skis. They work fine, just bend them out.

Putting squires on anything is a crime. But yeah, just save up ;)

Squires might not be strong enough for your skis. How talk are you, weight?

At least if he puts those on there he can upgrade later without redrilling if he stays with Marker's non-touring royal family.
