So, I got some pow fatties last week and I wanted to get Marker Griffon Schizos for they're versatility, but I had to get them in a 110 width (my skis are 130mm) because it was hard to find the binding, let alone in a 130 brake width (I got the 2013 model). So, I figured I would just take them into my shop, buy wider brakes, replace them, and mount them, but thought it would be better to post a thread first. So ns, what is my best option? I was thinking of ordering new brakes online and maybe having my shop change them and mount them. Really need good, legit, advice on this one, +k thanks guys!

Call your shop and ask if they have the 130 brake, otherwise order online. Was a thread really needed?

Why would you want the versatility on 130 mm pow skis? Does not make much sense

Most shops will trade you brakes as long as they are new.

generally not up. Marker limits the bindings that come with 130mm brakes. The business model is to sell 130 brakes to those who want a 120mm or wider ski. I think the Jester and potentially the Jester pro are the only models sold stock with 130mm brakes.
