Hey gear talk, I just got a pair of skis with 90 underfoot. Out of the options for bindings I have available it's either 88 or 97 brake width. Should I go with the big 97's or bend the 88,s out a little bit? They will be mounted true center.

Dude you'll love them! What bindings are you gonna get? And also I would recommend beveling the top sheets if you're worried about the top sheets at all. They're killer and stoked to hear someone else will be riding them! Pm me if you have any questions about beveling

Tyrolia sizes small and they were kind of a beech to bend. I'd honestly consider 97mm brakes. As long as you aren't 15mm over you'll be fine, and you're only 7mm over- and they still size small.
