well im sort of mad... cause fedex just lost my heel piece for some p10s that i bought and i had ordered some wide brakes for them for my moships off here... but now since i only got one full binding... fedex is reinbursing(sp?) me and with that money imma buy myslef some new ones... so to go on my moships i was thinking of the
rossi Axial2 120 binders... and as you know they got a 80mm stock brake on em... moships have a 90mm width... it might be a bit sketch doing that but tell me if there is a certain way to do it... and i can just practice on other shit binders..

I have been told numerous times that it's not really possible to bend that much... you would have to bend the current bend flat, then bend a whole new kink in it.

just pull them out so they're not 90 degree angles anymore.

mount the bindings with the brakes unbent, then get the ski in a vice, clamp a boot in the binding and crank the DIN. Then slip an old pole or piece of pipe over the brake to use as a level - bend the brake straight then re-bend as needed. Clamping a boot in the binding while you're doing this positions the metal part of the brake in a way that you're less likely to break something. Go slowly with the bending, and don't use heat.
