Are 100mm brakes too big for 82mm skis?

I found some bindings in my basement for my HHP's. The waist is 83 mm.
I'm 5-7 140lbs. Here are my options

Rossignol Axial 2
12 din, brakes only come in 80 and 100 mm

Rossignol Axial

10 Din, and i think brakes only come in 80mm and 100mm. Not sure though

Both are pretty dope race bindings

Would 100mm be too big for 83 mm waist?

+K for help

definitely get the 80mm brakes. you don't want big ass brakes on park skis.

and yes, 80mm brakes will fit, and if they don't, you can bend each brake 1.5mm.

so yeah. haha

I have 100's on my invaders (px12) and they are fine.  I have 100's (sth 12) on my chronics and they stick out.  The rossi/ look brakes go up high and tuck in so they do not catch even though they do stick out a little bit.  The sth12 brakes ski out like a bitch and catcha all the time.

just go with the 80mm brake, you can easily get them bent to fit. a 100 will eventually catch on something, or stick in the snow if you put down a hard edge. also the axial 2 would be a better built binding, so it will definately hold up better if your skiing park with them.

my 80mm px12 brakes almost fit over my 87mm wasted lte's without bending/shaving the plastic part so you will definitely be fine

100 should b OK since the ski gets wider from the waist measurement down to the heel and brake location. I have been happier with oversize brakes more than the ones that have been bent. They tuck away fine.
