take the stem off, fit the spacers and stem aa you want them then use that to mark off where you'll cut. then check again, and again. then take it apart, make sure you've got the right line, then check again, then cut. I've cut through a brand new pair of forks without checking enough and rendered them trash. It's an expensive mistake so don't guess anything.

I want to remove the conical spacer (20mm) plus a 5mm spacer to leave room for 5mm below the stem and a 10mm spacer above while I get my fit right.
Is it safe to assume I simply remove the fork, remove the bung and chop 25mm with a hacksaw using an old stem as a guide.
