Is it possible to stretch normal width brakes to fit fat skis without destroying your bindings?

step on one end and put a towel around the other and pull up with both hands.
don't try to go bigger than 95mm tho

If youre good you can do it. One of the head guys in my shop did an amazing job with my brakes.They were race stock look brakes(so tiny) and he bent each side of the brake twice so they fit like normal brakes..

just vice them, and bend them with a pipe. Its pretty easy and they dont break very often if your careful about it. You can bend most stock brakes out to atleast 105, and some out to 130ish if you don't care too much about having it hang down a long way, but still enough to function

prob with going over 100 is they don't fold in all the way and you could get fucked landing switch and rip them off

Well i have a pair of fks's bent to about 120 and they havent have a single problem or function the slightest bit different than they would on a race ski. And i know they could be bent wider because i have done so, and they have worked properly.

No, if you bend them right you can get them to come back over the top of your ski while your stepped in.
