[N-dubs206]

Hey guys, Im trying to buy new, fatter skis but Im not tryna buy new bindings. is it possible to put in new, wider breaks into my old bindgins cause right now the breaks are pretty small. Thanks for any info!!

wrong section. should be in gear talk. and yes you can its very easy. what kind of bindings do you have?

^lol its in gear talk and what bindings, usually you can by new brakes or just bend them.

^The mods moved it, also, yes you can change brake width fairly easily.

Depends on the binding really, for example FKS isn't easy.

 

[theschneidler]

What I meant by easy is a shop will do it. I understand the FKS can be a bitch to change.

 

[Brentizzle]

actually you cant even change fks. or at least shops cant because to get at the brakes you have to take apart mechanical components of the brake which legally the shop isnt allowed to do. If somebody really really wants a wider brake on an fks or pivot then it should be sent in to rossi/look.

all other brakes can be swapped our pretty easily with one or two quick screws.

What bindings do you have?

thanks guys, I have dynastars

 

[TommyChong]

Yes, you can. Lots of ski shops would do it for you

Some Pivot and FKS models aren't able to replace

Should be really easy, just change them out for wider brakes, if not you could always bend them.

First find out the width of your skis. After you know that type in "Dynastar Brakes". You want to get brakes JUST wide enough for your skis. If the bindings are too wide they will drag when you carve, if they are too small they won't deploy (aka you loose your skis).

If you can't find brakes wide enough try and get as close as possible. My brakes were 130mm but my ski was 133mm, the guys at my ski shop just bended them. It's pretty common to bend your brakes.

my shop does it, your shop is full of pussies! fuck the law

 

[Brentizzle]

meh. I would rather be safe than sorry when it comes to screwing around with the insides of somebodies bindings.

 

[OGoriginal-gaper]

changing fks brakes isn't that hard most people would be able to do it

Dynastar bindings are made by look which most of their bindings can be changed with a Phillips head screw driver. Very easy
