I'm thinking of getting some caustic soda to get me rid of this.
Maybe cut it shorter first but as I never done it before I'm getting some second thoughts. It will probably "eat" the steerer paint along with the aluminum right? Can I leave the caustic soda with the forks in a plastic bottle or will it "eat" the plastic too? Afterwards what should I do with the remaining solution? Flush it down the toilet? Doesn't seem very environment friendly with all that aluminum dissolved in there...
