Any advice on the best way to cut bars down, hacksaw or pipe cutter?

Use an old lock on grip as a cutting guide.
And remember if trimming 2in of a handlebar, to take 1in off each side.
Hacksaw & try not to inhale the dust if they're carbon
either will work. whatever you choose make sure it's a nice sharp blade/ wheel
Brant, they are on a scandal, what's the best width?

It's down to your preference/ shoulder-width / comfort but mainly preference.
(soz for cutting in Brant and pardon the pun)
Also use a pipe cutter - I got one from Screwfix for about £3 with a spare-cutting wheel.
going for the pipe cutter approach, hacksaw goes on the wonk and dont get me started on an angle grinder after today's artistry with my cleats.
will let you know how i get on!
just in case...don't use a pipe cutter on carbon ones!
oh and before you cut move your grips and controls inboard to try it.
