Yeah...that's how I did it. Tapped down the nut with a socket & hammer, carefully used a hacksaw (after measuring about a thousand times) and cleaned it up with a file.

I went with the 6-degree 'cause I happen to like the way a little bit of rise looks. My bike feels so much better now!

MarkieMark - I'll take a couple more pics and PM them to you when I get home from work.
