Will the Oazo brake in 100 mm fit over a 104 mm ski (i.e. Trab Neve 104)? In fact, would the 90 mm brake fit? The old Plum Pika brakes were super super wide - like, by 2 sizes! -- which is why I'm asking!

It's amazing how such a simple thing as a leash can be made with such a specialized design. These have a strange little black wheel-like device that evidently fit in the tail end of the leash, and holds it securely to (some?) ATK binding toes. Kind of elegant, but way over-thinking it, which is typical of ATK. I have not actualy tried them on my ATK bindings yet, but I have them on my Plums. I just girth hitched them using the wire cable that comes with it. This is NOT how they were designed to be used,...

No tech binding heel is going to feel as "locked in" as something like the Kingpin, but this binding is closer than most, in my experience. Yes, they work with crampons -- and they are fine. They are just not quite as slick as the Plum and new Dynafit versions. See skimo's write-up on this https://skimo.co/ski-crampon-compatibility As for conditions, yes, sure, I would them ski them anywhere.

It's worthing adding that if you are coming from Kingpins, they will be very famiiar -- same toe piece (or even better, since there have been some improvements over the years). Best toe piece I've used to date (including ATK).

No issues! Really great. I still think it's the easiest handling binding out there. A couple of new things I"ve realized that are not perfect: The brakes are easily removed BUT there isn't a cover you can get to replace them, so that's probably not the best idea (it'll put wear on the boot). So in practice, you can't really save weight by skiing without brakes. The "delta" (see here: https://skimo.co/pin-heights) is quite high. This has never bothered me, but I think some might notice. I would proba...
