  • you can't file the top to make it square to the steerer

    Damn, I've been doing it wrong all these years. OK, not strictly speaking a file, but I always smooth them off with a stone in the DremelĀ® even if the saw cut is perfectly flat.

  • Carbon?

    Yes, never had any suggestion of de-lamination. For something people trust with they're lives, people seem to have a low opinion of carbon fibre's ability to hold together :)

  • Not unless you're a real heavy-handed muppet. I file the tops of carbon steerer tubes and they're fine. Just use a #2 rather than a bastard file.
