Hey, just so you guys know it probably isn't worth your time to bend the standard break into a 100mm break (i have had sucsess adding about 5mm). I broke one arm today, and had to weld it back on. It work hardens so they want to break when you re-bend them from strait. most people would probably just caugh up the money for the wides, and that is probably the best idea.
If anyone has had sucess bending them wide, post detailed directions.

kills the integrity. Then when you pop out switch, you bent the arms super quick. Plus heating them means melting plastic. (yeah, i know ur gonna say "you welded it," the that was just a quick tac)

I haven't had any issues bending them. Just mount them, click the boot in and use a broken off ski pole to bend it

I bent 80s to 100 with no problems. Rossi/look have always been hard to bend, but they're WAY WAY better than the Axial1 brakes. With those there wasn't even a point to trying.
All times are Eastern (-4)
