i got the surface one lifes and every were i go all the 100mm griffon bindings are sold out so i was wonderin if u can bend the 90mm to fit my 112mm ski
 
its not gonna work exceptionally well.....they might come down, but not all the way.. might not stop the ski like its supposed to... but it is possible....find a hollow metal pipe or thing (piece from cut off poles works great) and put it around the brake arm and bend it...its much easier than just using ur hands
 
yeah i wouldnt suggust it because my brakes are slightly too small and my ski didnt brake and went into a river and i spent five minutes trying to find it. 22 mm is kinda iffy
 
Yes you can do it: My EP Pros have 110 mm Jester brakes bent to fit because the 130+ ones are expensive. That said I wouldnt recommend it. The 90mm breaks didn't look right on my Lizzies after I bent them so I bought some 110s.. Just order some spares from backcountry 40 bucks isnt the end of the world..
 
I've seen 70mm FKS brakes bent to fit hellbents, effectively. You just have to be good at it.
 
Ya, it's really easy. And 2 centimeters is not a very big gap to conquer, just look at your ruler. I've done it by hand before.
 
Case in point: my friend Pat's Bents.
