Hey got a pair of FORCE dragons (they're an austrailan free ride company), totally sick ski etc... The waist is 79mm which is jsut to fat for a normal brake. Should i get a wider brake so they dont rub the sidewalls, bend the brakes, or are there any companies that make a wider brake (like salomon does a 1080 brake that fits the 80mm waist of the tens)

i think 79mm is skinny enough so that it wont damage the bindings hardly any to bend them to fit.

interesting....i have a pair of skis that are 79 underfoot as well and the normal salomon brakes fit on there (barely, and it rubs) but it still works fine.....you shouldn't need to bend them

Mwahahaha, scholinginator is right. Force rock, go australia. Most people dont even know we have snow.

Go the force skis, you should be able to get some wide brakes to suit. All manufacturers that I know of make wide brakes. Salomon ones are readily availible, just ask a shop about them.



In tractor pulls, a 'full pull' is the best you can get. Ahh, how sport mirrors life.

I have mucked around tring to bend heaps of brakes before but only to break alot of them. Breaks are made of high tensal metal so near imposible to bend if you dont heat them. I recommend to just buy another set of breaks.
