Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Build (problems?): Steerer tupe cutting

« on: March 21, 2024, 11:38:53 PM »

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

) . 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.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Build (problems?): Steerer tupe cutting

« on: March 21, 2024, 05:46:39 PM »

Hi to the community !
When cutting the steerer the last tiny bit cracked a bit, causing a splinter missing in the very outer layer of the carbon.
I just wanted to be sure that this shouldn't cause any trouble? I attached photos with my thumb next to it for scale.
Its also possible for me to cut another 5 mm, If this should be considered safer. Are there any tips to prevent this kind of cracking? Using (what kind of?) tape or something?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi!
Scrolling through Instagram i stumpled upon this bike. https://www.soulcycles.com.br/seeker?map=ft
Has anyone seen it from a chinese factory? It's a brazilian bike brand and i guess they dont produce their frames themselves.
