cut carbon steerer?

Andre said:

Any recommendations out there for proper hacksaw blade to cut a carbon steerer tube? I'm advised
to get a composite blade (permagrit), but these are fairly expensive. Kestrel apparently use
standard blade, combined with wrapping the steerer with masking tape to prevent fray. Thanks for
any info.

yep. scoring it with a sharp knife will eliminate the tearout. or use the corner of a file to make a
v grove around it. this will really eliminate any problems.

Can also use masking tape.
