The danger with chopping the collet is that the hanger will then be a loose fit on the steerer. Every time you apply the brake, the hanger will tilt the conical headset cover and compress the bearings. That's why you should bin it and get one like this
I would used one of these, but that means whole new headset. Current hanger is integrated to upper bearing cover (which what I found appealing at first, but obviously I regret that now...)
Argh this is annoying!
