Brake sizing

[tthanks11]

Will 90mm brakes fit on 89mm skis?

 

[JahFeels]

yes

 

[No.Quarter]

so if 90 is more than 89 than we can assume there is a difference in the two numbers and after we carry the 12 and drop the 8 we can divide by planks constant which gives us the answer of 25:5:19 which in sig figs is YES.

But actually you might need to just tweak them a little bit. but you shouldn't need a bigger brake size.

It all makes sense now... thanks

I just put 80mm brakes on 84 waist skis with little bending

 

[tthanks11]

and theres no problems? will a shop do that? or do I have to myself?

i put 115mm brakes on 120mm skis. Didn't take the bindings apart (fks), just tweaked them a little and shaved of some of the black plastic on the brakes.

If I were you, I'd go with brakes that are 5mm or more wider than the waist of your skis. I have 90mm brakes on K2 Disorderlys with an 85mm waist, and they're very close. Just my $.02

There's a gear forum for this stuff op.

 

[Elg]

Why? His 90mm brakes will fit his 89mm skis just fine.

 

[Dr.Dickless]

This should be in gear talk

I don't have a lot of experience, but I noticed on mine I had very little clearance even with 5mm. Like I said, it was just my two cents on the issue. I can take a picture and post it here if you want to see.

 

[Dr.Dickless]

The less clearance the better until they can't deploy
