Seat Tube
i need to cut 2 inches off the seating tube of an aluminium bike to lower the seat. How should I do it?
I have a new bike that is mint. But I need to cut two inches off the seat tube in order to lower the saddle. The bike is just marginally too big for me. I have not cut aluminium (or anything) and would apprecaite any tips. I do not want to start the job without guidance as I might ruin the bike. What tools do I need? What technique should I use? What tips are there? Thanks
a pipe cutter, its easy to do.
