N.Wood Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 It'll be fine as long as you cut carefully, use a new blade with fine teeth and tape it to give it a bit of support while you cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, you just dont want them to crack/split. Taping them quite tightly will help to reduce flexing and snapping during the final section your cutting. Using a fine blade will keep the cut neater and more precise and just dont sit there going at it full strength as fast as you can. Cut it using slower strokes with a better technique.

NVWOCI WVS Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 (edited) i'd use a dremel (sp?) or cut them then neaten them up with a fine grinding disc on a grinder. Edited June 17, 2007 by samdoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintsauce Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I left mine on the bike (clamped into the stem) and cut them, with a new blade, using a hand saw.Worked perfectly and they are doing fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 They have an insert in the end to stop them splintering don't they? Good idea would be to remove these and put them back in the cut bars when you're done. I'm about to do the same as my 28" ones are about 18 months old and could probably do with being replaced for safetys sake but as they no longer do the 28" versions reckon I'll have to trim them down...Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
