I cut up Paris' Bianchi | How to cut a stem at home. One piece bar upgrade 

max seems very excited about "Not having to pull out". Man of culture.

Every bike I build I always end up having to cut the stem to take out the last spacer after having ridden it to confirm the position. Always a pain when the brake lines are in the bike. I just take a few older shower towels wrap around frame and bars as its all a dangling mess, lay it all on its side on some couch cushion and then cut it with the fork still in the frame. Ive heard of some people using a "pipe cutter" tool that pushes a disc (like a pizza cutter) into it and you spin it around but never tried that approach. One thing to mention to viewers is when going to a narrower bar setup you will effectively "shorten" your stem length or total combined bar reach by a small amount, perhaps half a size.

Good tip about the spacers, I need to cut my steerer tube I was going to use just an old stem first. You definitely need to find some better looking spacers under that new cockpit.

I’ve done exactly this, on an aria too, cut it in the frame using 2 hose clamps as a guide

Great to have more Paris of late despite her language….

The spacers below the bars are making the reach shorter... when you slam it you make the reach longer !!. Also many headsets require one spacer between the bars and the headset so totally slamming the bars may not be a good idea anyway. Did you use a bit of grip paste on the bung? Either way, check for any headset rock after a week or so, you may need to add either paste or a little more compression on the cap. Remember to slacken the bar screws first. Nice bars though!

Max needs to cut that overgrown lawn in the backyard.

It’s far more easy to speak to a camera, it doesn’t talk back to you and it doesn’t complain as much 😜

What has actually happened to your old Bianchi? I thought it looked nicer.

Great vid but back garden is triggering my OCD!

The whole point of a 1 piece bar and stem is so you hide the cables.

May just a little advise in favour of your health 😅 carbon dust is highly dangerous for your lungs and remains there when inhaled (risk of cancer) - using a water spray or wet towel to clean is recommended 🙌🏽 cheers mate

That's not "the stem" you're cutting, it's the steerer tube. The "stem" fixes the handlebars to the steerer. If you're going to make jokes about "not knowing how to buy bikes" you might want to know the difference. If this was intended to be a "how not to" video, you nailed it. Ps. Nice way to ruin two stems by the way.

You look a little bit too much like Prince Phillip from the Crown from s3/4
