I'm sure this had been covered a million times but here we go. I'm getting Rossi B3s and some axial bindings. Can/should I just bend the brakes or get the wide brakes? I've bent the brakes before but that was on a 88 mm waist ski and my B3s are 94mm waist.

How do you do it right? I accidently bent my brake on my PEs and was trying to bend it back and I broke the damn brake off the binding.

you are one giant piece of internet suck -...focus....

just find a longer pipe (or broken ski pole), clamp, and then bend the end out very slooowly, there are already multiple threads on her with very good tutorials on how to do it, the best one is on the tgr boards though.

probably have to soften the brake with heat first.

mine were hardly bent. the shop guys just did it w/o asking, but they mounted them terrible. i said center. they mounted them so far back. oh well, 1 more season until i can look at new ones.

When I try bending brakes, it seams like I'm going to brake the plastic that holds them together.

^ dont just grab them and pull you need to clamp the brake on the otherside of the bend so you dont bend or break the shit inside!
