Brake width

[blue_forest]

I have a quick question regarding brake width, hopefully someone can help me out. How much wider than your skis can you safely go with the brake lever? For example, my new skis are 85mm underfoot, but the shop doesn't have the s912 B90s, only B95s. Is that a problem?

wtf is a b95...

cant you just bend your brakes,

b95 means that the brakes fit a midwaist os 95mm. i think if the brake is too wide it can get caught up on snow and whatnot which can cause you to prerelease

B90 and B95 are the width, 90 and 95mm respectively

 

[=nick=]

b90 is prolly a 90 mm brake and b95 is prolly a 95 mm break...
