Any advice for cutting carbon fibre? I want to trim some dropped bars to make bullhorns. Got a hacksaw with an ordinary blade, and a very small vice. I've read this https://www.pinkbike.com/news/tech-tuesday-cutting-carbon.html and don't want to bother with getting a fine tooth blade. I thought I might put gaffer tape on the handlebars first, and cut through it to reduce splintering.
N.B. I'm not buying ready made bullhorns because my bars are somewhat unique. They have TT extensions which slot into sleeves on the bars. No heavy bracketry. I am a weight weenie. These bars are the ones.
