CR's:

I know many of you have done this so your advice will be helpful before I venture into unknown territory....

I have a new fork to install in an old frame, and the steerer needs to be cut down. Any great ways to accomplish this with minimal error?

Right now I just plan to run some headset ring on the thing, cut the tube with a hack saw, and then use the ring to smooth out the threads as I run it off. Sounds too easy, so there must be some detail I've not thought of...

Your answers, long or short, would be welcome.
