I'm looking into getting some Atomic Bent Chetlers this year. Their width is 121 mm. I'm looking into some cheaper bindings from last year and I like a lot of the 120 mm brake bindings. My question is, how much wiggle-room is there for a binding brake? I remember when I got my Public Enemies a few years back the bindings were 85 but the skis were 87; the brake was close, but it fit.

I also feel like a 130mm would be too large.

Any input?

Thanks

Lots if you happen to have a piece of 1" steel pipe.

Actually for a 1mm difference the most you'll probably need is your bare hands.

Grab the arms and tweak hard (for a couple-of-three millimeters)!
