Hey guys, so I bought a pair of Revisions as well as a pair of Candide 1.0's. I have FKS 140's that I'm going to mount on one of them for sure. The bindings are 115mm brakes i believe and the waist size of the factions are 82mm and the revisions at 96mm. I got a great deal on the Factions but i fear they may be too small for my bindings. Any opinions on which ski is better? or which one I should sell? Or which one I should mount? I'm stressing out hard haha +k for help!

Info:

Revisions:
-bought for $179
-96mm waist
-FKS 115mm brake
Faction 1.0's:
-bought for $349 retail $700 (cyber monday)
-82mm waist
-FKS 115mm brake

HELP. I know I could make profit on the Factions easy but I really want to keep them cuz I know they are extremely durable and playful as evident from Delorme and Candide. But the Revisions might fit my Rossi's better so I don't know.

HippyKiller007I know I could make profit on the Factions easy but


laaame. flipping skis for profit is fucking lame. im not saying you should lose money on it or anything but i have to say that sentence bothered me

anyway, why are you basing what ski you use on brake size? and 115 brakes are huge on either of those skis

never go more than 15mm brake size over width, and try to be under 10mm difference. Attack 13 bindings are legit, I have a pair for my revisions, 97mm waist. IDK revisions have a lot of promise and are shipping out this week

Why did I get down voted? Like said above you shouldn't have more than 15mm in size difference. If you wanna keep the skis either drop $100 on a new brake or sell them and get sth2 which are better imo. Attacks are also killer

Yeah sorry for your situation but that's probably what I would do. If it's no problem and you really want fks on either the faction or revision maybe you could trade someone brakes as well. Maybe your shop will let you trade, if they have extra fks parts
