Would that 115 brake fit a 120 ski? The other axials I posted have a 120 brake

fat skis are bad for you, apparently.

'...has found that skiing hard-packed snow on a ski wider than 80 mm underfoot puts an undue amount of stress on knee and ankle joints'
The key point here is 'hard-packed'.
A- fat skis are not designed for hard-pack (no matter what many seem to think on this board)
B- any good skier with experience knows that narrow skis carve much easier with less body movement (I assume this study looks at carving)
C-fat skis are much easier on the joints than narrow skis in powder and crust.
What you need is the right tool for the job.

So much for paying attention.

Would be worth it, performance-wise, to get a fore/aft alignment assessment. If you need a little help in getting in balance from the binding's ramp = often an issue, or whatever, ...simply shimming the toe high 1-3deg, under the binding, can solve an issue pretty easily...and make a world of difference in how it all works. Fwiw...
