Re: Build (problems?): Steerer tupe cutting If you’re following typical carbon steerer recommendations (clamp the stem 5-10mm below the top of steerer and put a spacer above it), this will probably be okay. The chip shouldn’t matter much if it’s above the stem.

Re: Build (problems?): Steerer tupe cutting I've had this kind of problem before and I had put nail polish (resin) to put a kind of protective film to avoid delamination.  I rode a few weeks with this with no problem. But as I had a bit of margin, I preferred to cut a little fork in order to ride with more peace of mind

Re: Build (problems?): Steerer tupe cutting That doesn't look safe to me, regardless of whether it has worked for others or not. I'd cut it lower and use a guide to get it done properly. Sand the inside and outside edges once done.

Thanks to all of you!
For any future projects: is there a way to prevent this from happening?
I already used a guide (from AliExpress  ;D ) . The cut itself was very good and offcourse i already was quite careful.
Now i sure will do some cutting tests with the left over piece of the steerer tupe.

you can prevent these tearings on the outside by cutting a millimeter deep circle around the whole steerer.
And simply cut without much force and make sure when you almost finish the cut that the two parts don't "break" apart
