Honestly, unless you can't get the stem down as far as you like, it's WAY easier to buy four bucks worth of spacers on the big auction site than it is is to do a clean cut on your steer tube. And a too-long steer tube is better than one that's too short.
You mean as high as you need to, I would think. In fact, I had already placed an "order" for some spacers as the simple solution. I like simple solutions as long as they don't require too big a compromise. I just started this thread because half an inch overrun was more than I've ever seen.

Actually, the real reason is I like starting threads, but I'd never admit it.
