115mm brakes on a 93mm ski? Will this work?

So I was getting my chronic cryptos mounted with my my rossi fks 12's. The problem was the brakes i had on were too narrow so the tech had to order wider ones but the only ones he had available were 115mm ones. Im wondering if these are going to be too wide for my skis.

my 90mm breaks work on my crypto's easily, don't even have to be bent out. its jesters though, cant speak for fks.

bend your 90mm brakes, the 115s will most definitely catch while carving

Sounds like a bad idea. I've got Pivots with the 90 mm brakes on my Chronics (this year, so 92 mm) and the fit is absolutely perfect.

It will probably work, but chances are it will result in a bent brake sooner or later.

The chances of bending/breaking your breaks will significantly increase. Especially if you're planning on doing anything switch...

I have 110mm brakes on an 88mm ski and they work fine. plus they will be a little back from the waist so they'll be a little wider

Lol the issue is that they are already too wide, being a little wider because they're behind the waist is worse..

Just bend the old brake, if you still have it... both my FKS are on skis around 20mm wider than the brake they came with.

no its not, you obviously didn't think very hard before posting this.

The SKI is wider behind the middle, not the brake, meaning that a 108 underfoot with a short turning radius might be 112 at the brake line, and closer to the brake width.
