i have a pair of skis im going to use for urban and i need bindings for them. I was wondering if i could bend brakes to fit the ski because i dont want to buy a new binding i will just use old ones laying around my garage. Thanks!

If you dont need to bend them too much then go for it, my brakes on my normal skis sometimes bend in and i need to fix them by bending them back out haha

They're for urban. I wouldn't even bother with the brakes personally. Not like they are going to go flying down any hills.

You can easily bend them to fit depending on the binding too. My 70mm FKS brakes are bent to fit a 115mm ski. Some are easier to bend than others.

if it's 100% for urban, it probably won't even matter
