darticus_primeif you get 95 you can't get a ski wider than 95 lol
FeldstezI know a lot of people bend 95 mm breaks around K2 poachers which are 96mm...Yea thats my setup and it works fine

finderif you're gonna bend brakes, I recommend you use a vice. Gonna fuck them up if you apply all that force on the weak point and not the metal itself. Generally good to aim for brake width no more than 1cm wider than the ski but narrower generally isn't much of a problem and like I said, they can be bent. Brakes that are too wide become a hazard, and like to lock together. Wide brakes also tend to brake much faster from catching on each other/skis/anything you may come in contact with.
GryllzYea. Slightly to narrow is better than slightly to wide in my opinion
I broke my breaks on my rossi soul 7's, bought new ones and they were a bit to wide so they would actually catch on eachother sometimes.
Like i'd be skiing, maybe touch my skis a bit through an icy carve and my breaks would catch which was pretty sketch at times. Bought new, slimmer breaks cause i crashed pretty bad once.

Gryllz^ I also had an old pair of griffons on them so the breaks weren't retracted horizontally with the ski very much
LogiI don't know what all the fuss is about, I took my bindings with 60 mm brake width from my old racing skis, and recently got new JJ 116's, so I just bent them, worked fine.
