Yes we all know that 95mm pivot breaks will fit on anything and 95mm attack brakes go up to about 104ish but what about STH brakes?

Can I fit 90mm STH brakes on a 99mm ski with just a bit of stretching/ massaging?
 
(HEARSAY; i have not used STHs in recent memory)

i def remember hearing several times that STH brakes don't run big like pivots. they have a 100mm choice, right? i think with the STH that's actually perfect for 99 waist based on what ive heard

Alright, I ordered the 90mm units of the-house.com because $120...if they don't fit I can get 100mm units for about $30.

you should be totally fine. I have 90mm STH 16s on my 101mm LToros. I did have to bend the brakes very slightly but I felt like there was plenty of room
 
I have 95mm brakes on a 98mm ski and the brakes don’t function properly, they get stuck all the time which is sketch. The binding itself is really good def will buy another pair but you actually need to make sure the brake width is correct

What did you guys bend the brakes with? Did you use tools or did you just grab the brakes with your hands and pull them apart? I'm scared im gonna rip the heel piece out.
 
Video link shows the basic method the dude is a little heavy handed.

I just grabbed them firmly and bent them out. using a tube/bar sketches be out and makes me feel like imma snap them off
 
The 90mm units look very tight out of the box. They will for sure not deploy properly without some harassment/adjustment. I'll bend them out and see if I can get a result I'm happy with before spending on 100mm brakes.
