Bending brakes?

[Peter.]

i found a pair of px14s for less than 100 bucks, but i need them to fit on 95 mm patents and these come with 80mm brakes. how would i go about doing this?

Well, simply try to pry them apart with your hands. You should be able to squeeze 1.5cm larger. I got a 115mm brake to fit on a 127 underfoot stick with no problems.

If you can't quite get it with your hands, you can slip a pipe over each brake arm and pull apart (try to put it in a vise first). You'd be surprised, but a lot of shops actually use this technique. Be careful not to crack the plastic pieces near the heel, though. If it still doesn't work, you can buy just the wide brake for pretty cheap and you are still ahead since the bindings were a steal. Good Luck!

yeah, just don't break anything.

do i get them mounted first or just do it with them off the skis?

 

[J.S.]

Wouldn't you need to bend the brakes to mount them on the skis? You bend them first. Think about it.
