I just bought the blends and was about to buy some bindings till I realized look/rossignol doesnt offer anything inbetween 95-115mm. My blends are 100 underfoot so 95 is too small and 115 is way too big. I've already had multiple pairs of marker bindings as well as Solomon. Marker bindings have always been shit same with Solomon so I was looking to try the fks or pivots help plz +k

I have 115mm Pivot 14's on my Blends and they're perfectly fine. No issues with them catching, riding switch, etc.

Why is 115mm way too big? A mate of mine runs 115mm FKSs on his 86mm waist Rossi Scratch (had them left over from some dead pow skis) and just bent them in a little and he's never had a problem.

People need to stop getting so stressed over brake width, shits me up the wall.

You won't even have to bend the 95s, they'll pop right over the ski with no problem.

i think both sizes would actually work fine, but def go with the 95s. if you need to bend them at all itll be a minuscule amount
