Carbon steerer cut ???
Need to cut SID-WC Carbon steerer tube! Special Starnut installed !!
How to move STARNUT about 3cm inside ********************
--Is it possible that SID-WC 2006, can NOT use 80mm travel? (without 65mm Travel reducer)?
....THANK YOU...dc

He's probably talking about the expansion plug, but there are a few proprietary starnuts in CF steerers, notably Cannondale. You should be able to tap down the expansion plug (gently) with a socket of piece of pipe.

If it is an expansion plug, there should be a allen bolt or nut that can be loosened to allow it to move easily and be retightened in the new position. These things are usually easily removable and reusable.

Take it to a shop...any mistakes will be much more costly than the few bucks you will pay them to do the job. They have the proper tools to cut the ST without buggering it up.

THANKS -more question SID-WC ?
On my fully (Cdl Jekyll 2001) I changed Crankset to XT-Hollow.I, and somehow it seems not as wide as before(orig.=Coda). I have hard time measuring wideness of Cranks. Is it possible? is different? BottomBracket is 175mm. Can I install "distance Rings" ???
On Hardtail (XTR-Hollow.II>2004) I have 2Rings on left & right side ?? Is it standard(normal) ??
--THANKS--for HELP-- dcCore {SORRY 4 my bad ENGLISH}
