I would not cut it short, it wont grow back.
Uploading a couple to photobucket now, I'm afraid with a 2" space between the top nut and the top of the threaded fork that the quill doesn't make it into the headset and when I pull hard or hit hard the it will crack the the top half of the fork. I'm 230 lbs so it doesn't take much force to make **** bend. You ought to see me power my Orbea Tri- bike up a hill. I think it'll make more sense when I finally get the pictures loaded. Brb.
