  1. What is the best way to cut a carbon stem on a fork. Once
    you determine the exact length, do you just tape the area to
    cut, get a sharp hack saw and cut real straight. Or is there
    a better way ?

    As long as you cut it like you would a carbon steering tube,
    there is no problem. That means cutting in from the opposite
    side to meet your cut rather than going all the way through
    in one direction, which can delaminate the outer carbon
    layer where the hacksaw comes through.
