Hey,

I'm an advanced skier that has just purchased some Black Crows Nocta 2013 (waist-122.2mm).

I've spent ages looking into bindings but am struggling to be sure which ones would be best, primarily because of brake width size as i'm not sure if 130mm is too big or whether getting 115mm and bending them is the best solution. I would prefer not bending them, but if 130mm is way too big then I suppose I will have to, as barely any companies make bindings in the 120mm area.

Also some recommenced bindings would be appreciated along with some advice, my budget is really maxing out at £200 so nothing crazy good.

Bend 115's. Overhang is death.

for the bindings check out the England regional forums theres a dude selling a pair of sth13 for 100 quid not sure about the brake size but replaceable brakes are easy to come by you'll be able to find them at EB or S+R
its a solid binding and you'll save yourself a fair bit of cash

bending a 115 7mm might be a bit tight but you can shave of the inside of the plasic grip bits on the end to save a few mm but generally as long as you don't have over 15mm over hang you should be okay
