Hey guys!

I have a pair of 2011 Line chronics with a 92mm waist. I am looking at buying a pair of FKS 155 bindings from a guy but he told me the brake size was skinny. I  looked around on the internet trying to find out what size "Skinny" FKS brakes would be and it looks like 75mm? Should I buy these and just bend the brakes?

Go to the official ski/binding maintenance thread (its a sticky), in there there is a very good tutorial on taking apart/ bending brakes for FKS bindings!

I am about to go through the same process. Should I heat the brakes up a bit with a blow torch to keep them from snapping?
