I need to make my silly wide bars slightly less silly - got a reasonable hacksaw but no vice or anything. Will I die? Thinking of using some old lock-ons as a guide to get it straight.
[i]do I need a vice[/i]
We all need a fetish or two 😉
Old lockons will be fine. trim a little off a few times rather than too much all at once.
Pipe cutter would prob be better, no vice required!
Your stem will hold them in place while cutting
^ what he said, using lock rings as a guide. Are they alu or carbon?
Cheers folks, just alu - don't have a pipe cutter since I broke a cheapo one trying to cut down a steerer with it 😯
Old lock ons FTW
if you use a vice remember to clamp what your cutting off in the vice
a vice?! just take the grips off and cut the ****er!
Workmate (or B&Q copy) is ideal for the job and only a tenner or so. Handy for all sorts of jobs including bike fettling.
