I am going to get the salomon sth2 wtr 13 binding to a line blend.
And now i am questioning myself what binding width i should get?
The Blend is 132-100-122. (100 underfoot)

The backpiece of the binding will be attached a little pack from the middle and where they are mounted it will probably be around 105-110mm underfoot?

Should i go for 100mm or 115mm brake width?

In case this helps you decide, I have that binding with the 115 brake mounted on skis that are 119 under foot.

Skis should have bindings with a brake width of up to fifteen millimeters bigger than the waist. You should get the one-fifteen's man.

It's do able, but I don't like doing it but it honestly wouldn't be a problem. When getting them mounted, ask them to slightly bend the brake. I never enjoy doing it, but it's not the end of the world

Most bindings have a bit of give + or - 10mm from my exp. It depends on the brand as brake designs do differ, but most bindings brakes can be bent with ease. I used the same set of 100mm FFG 14's on my 92mm wasted skis as I now do on my 105mm wasted skis with no issues or alterations required.

Then again I also have spare brake sets in different sizes for most of my bindings, theres not many compatibility issues but you need to check on older variants.

For exampleThe STH WTR brakes are different from the non WTR versions, the WTR versions use the Guardian heal, on my Peak 18s since they use the race pro heal its not the same brake as the peak 15 or 12 which use the race heal and share a brake with all the demo ones to.
