Bindings brake help

I am not familiar with mounting bindings so hopefully someone can help. I have a pair of 90mm griffons and I would like to mount them on my new skis that are 106 width. Can I buy 110mm brakes and change the brakes on my old bindings? If so would whoever is mounting my bindings be able to change those out for me?

thank you in advance

Brakes should be wider than the ski. 110 is perfect. (You can switch them out)

You can swap brakes on nearly every popular binding

That's a quick way to snag a brake on a carve. Binding should be 5mm less than width.

The wider brake will work on the same binding and 110mm brake on a 106mm ski will be fine.

Depends on the brake Imo. Pivots brakes should be narrower, marker royal fam should be wider, everything else is give or take like 8mm and you'll be fine. I tend to go narrower with everything except Marker brakes

Pretty sure they make a 100mm brake for those which will work perfect with a little stretch. Any shop can do this for you.

Exact way that I bent one of my brakes + skiing bumps. You can always bend a smaller brake out, But you can't bend a larger one in.
