HOW TO CUT THE EXTENSIONS
1. Carefully determine the required extension length by performing a bike fit or measuring the
existing extensions.
2. Mark the point at which you wish to make a cut.
3. We recommend checking your measurements after first marking the cut line to ensure that you do
not inadvertently cut the extensions too short.
4. Mount the cutting guide securely in a vice. Then place the extension in the guide and line up the
marked cut line with the slot in the cutting guide.
a. For carbon a 32T or carbon specific blade is recommended. Wrap the extension with insulation
tape at the cut line to limit the risk of splintering the carbon at the blade exit point.
b. When cutting carbon, wear a breathing mask, gloves and eye protection then dispose of the dust
residue carefully. Airborne dust particles are a respiratory hazard.
5. Using the hacksaw, make firm strokes of the blade through the guide, allowing the blade to do
the work. Do not apply excessive force to the hacksaw as you risk snapping the blade and the
possibility of injury.
6. Repeat the process for the second extension.
7. Once you have cut both extensions, use the half round file to remove any sharp edges from both
the interior and exterior faces of the extension.
