I've got some Ritchey WCS carbon risers that are a bit too wide for my liking. I'd like to cut off a couple of inches from each end to get the fit right. However, there seems to be some sort of small internal shim in each end that is glued in and extends about 2cm down each bar end. I guess this is for reinforcing the bars if you want to attach MTB bar ends, which I'm not going to do. Will I die a horrible death if I cut the bars?
