  I want to remove about 1.5" or so from my steerer tube... when I built the bike up i left it with plenty of wiggle room so I could find the right height for the stem... turns out I could have slammed it from the off.

  Anyway, there's a star nut fit and it's right where I want to cut... so what to do?

  Initially I thought to drill out the centre of the existing star nut and remove it, cut the steerer, then fit a new star nut... is that a bit much?

  Or should I just knock the existing one down a bit further? (I've potential to screw this up I feel)

  Thoughts/suggestions welcome 👍🏻

  ok, this isn't all that retro at 9 years old, but it's kinda in the spirit of the thread... somewhat!

  a 26" frame, but plenty of clearance for my 27.5" gravel wheels running 47s

  there's nothing wrong with them, but hydro ones are far far far far far better... plus that's (above) a flat bar bike, even entry level deore brakes will out perform the best cables in every condition...
