Binding break width

Hey NS's
I've recently purchased two sets of new skis, vandal in 179 and chronics in 185. Looking at getting 4FRNT attack 13 bindings for both and just wondering what length breaks to get for both. The vandal is 100mm width and the chronic is 92mm the break width options for the attacks are 85mm, 95mm and 110mm. I've heard of some people getting breaks smaller than the width and bending them and also people going to big and having issues riding switch. Any info would be great, cheers

I'd go 95 for both.

thanks for the reply. I think you're right and just bend them if need be.

Think you'd probably be fine either way... I've got a 110mm brake on my Blends which are same waist as Vandals and never had any issues

Hey Chigga. I am trying to work out whether to go for the Vandals or the Chronics this season, and see you have used both of them. I know the Chronics have changed quite a lot for this season, but any feedback on the two skis? Did you prefer one over the other?

I have 120mm brakes on my 118 mm skis and they are fucking huge. They haven’t broken yet but it seems like they are just waiting to snag on anything that comes along. I have used smaller brakes on wide skis and they rub against the sidewalls and the skis don’t click together right when you carry them and probably wouldn’t do shit to stop a runaway ski.

What bindings? I'm not sure how they're measured but it isn't accurate at all. I have two sets of attack and they would probably fit on skis 8-10mm wider than the listed brake widths with zero sidewall rub. I ordered the shift 10mm smaller than listed after seeing them and it was the right choice I think, they'll need a little bit of massaging to fit them perfectly but I don't want them hanging out an inch on either side of the ski hooking on my pants and boots.

Dukes. I almost did that on purpose but I didn’t have any reason to think buying the ‘right’ size brake would be too big. I’ll Downsize if they ever break off, oh well
