The stem is one of those that have a slit down the middle and a "plug" that opens it up when tightened - so the cutting should be simpler.
With regards to not inserting the stem too far down, only half of it goes into the steerer so about 700mm sticks out - way too much.
Any ideas what could be causing a blockage on the steerer? I've looked into it and nothing, cleaned it, etc. Its as if the steerer funnels down in the inside. I thought it could be the butting.
