Shifts brake bending?

Anyone have any experience with bending out shifts specifically 115mm to about 17-18, They’re on a pair of 112mm now and they’re pretty snug, enough so that i have to get the brakes to bend a little to get the skis apart from each other

Should be a piece of cake.

Do you have the 100mm brakes on 112mm skis? Did they resize them at some point? You can shave the plastic off the inside part and get 2-3mm on each side probably.

If it's the 115 width brake you will have no problems with a 117-118 width ski.

The skis taking a little bit of finangling to get apart when stuck together is regular across all widths of shift in my experience of mounting a bunch of shifts


I had 100mm width brake on a 108mm ski. Would have to finangle them apart like you are describing, but actual function outside of that was not effected
