    Hello, I need to cut an inch or so from either end of a carbon mtb handle. Is there anyone who might
    be able to share a cutting method with me? I'm thinking about using a fine-tooth hacksaw blade after
    placing masking tape down to mark the area to be cut. Is there a better/more propriate method out
    there? Thank you!! Regards, Ron

    It seems to be a rather complicated process.. hopefully you can pull it off properly. A paranoid
    thing I could probably picture myself doing would be mixing up some Epoxy after the bars were cut,
    and giving the cut ends of the bar a coat of Epoxy inside and out to stop fraying or something,
    incase that happened.
