A warning on pipe-cutters

[isaac steiner]

When I got my KH36. I was down at Bedfords picking it up, and when he was trimming the post for me, he used a pipe cutter, and it was very hard to get into the stem, actually we couldn't get it to. But once we got some grease around the post it slipped in and out really nice.

If your going to use a pipe cutter, I recommend grease (not just some little spray lubricant, kinda like a gel, i'm not sure exactly what it's called)

That's my advice,

Isaac

Has worked in the past for me.

Only problem is you have to remember that the post is all greasy every time you take it out so that you don't stain your clothes. You're still bound to stain your hands. I may have to try that or file down my post now.
