You would do that with a standard fork, but not on this
I still don't get why you would leave the fork in the frame while cutting. There's nothing about the Look design which prevents your removing the fork and holding the steerer properly while cutting, then you can clean up all the dust in a completely different room from where the headset bearings are stored before bringing the (now clean) fork back into the clean room for final assembly.

Nothing that prevent it to take it apart if you really want to do it, but not necessary so why do it?
Once I get home I'll scan the instruction book that comes with the frame kit.
They even say that you could just use their steel cylinder as cutting guide, but I used a clamping guide for obvious reasons.Do you de-lace your wheel if you need to replace your hub bearings? :)

There are no measurements to make as if you want to fit the C-stem without the Look spacer there is only one cutting position.
Look gives you a cutting guide to mark the steerer (if you want to get rid of the dedicated spacer), so I marked the steerer and then used a cutting guide with the frame upside down so the dust wouldn't go inside the steerer.
Google up for Look Headfit and it will give you an idea what I'm talking about...
It might be odd for traditional standards, but that's how it works :)
