Carbon Steer Tube Question
I will be receving my new Dean titainum road bike frame next week. Part of the new bike build will include a Reynolds Ouza Pro carbon fork. What is the best method of cutting the carbon steer tube (once I have the proper lenght needed)?
I do not want to ruin a new fork.. Thanks.

You can mark it and have a shop cut it in a jig or you can free hand it yourself. Use a fine tooth hacksaw and use a piece of masking tape as a guide.(I would use a shop, only a couple of bucks and it should be a straight cut)
Make sure to use a top cap with expander rather than a star nut.

I used a Park threadless steerer tube cutting guide for my fork steerer cutting needs. I used a hacksaw with a fine toothed blade and took my time cutting it.
