cut carbon steerer?

[Andre]

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.
