And yes I can't emphasize the measuring twice and cutting once saying.
Also, it's really hard to get a square cut with a hacksaw, and you're left with a lot of nasty sharp burrs to file off. I totally f****d up a nice set of Cinelli bars with a hacksaw once, and have used a pipe cutter since. Except, of course, when I worked at a shop that had a sweet gravity band saw.
