Dumb question... I've never owned or worked with titanium bars. Just ordered a set that are coming in 800mm so I need to cut them down by about 10mm on each side. Can you cut these things with a regular hacksaw blade? I tried searching the manufacturers website but couldn't find anything.

The bars I cut were 520mm. I'm still getting used to my super wide 635mm bars.
When you do cut the bars, don't throw away the off cuts. You can make nice rings from them.

No matter how many times i cut my 520mm bars, i couldnt get them to 635mm?

Personally, I wouldn’t cut them. Will decrease resale value of bar, you payed for all that titanium son. I like to run long BMX grips and just grip the bar a little more inboard. Gives me a little more space for my hands and a real wide bar if I want.

I would, if you are moving your hands inward and allowing 10mm of extra bar on each side, your brain doesn't account for this and it's a prime-way to tag trees and crap with your bars. I'm happy with my 810mm bars...but if I wasn't, for sure I'd cut them down.

Yea, having my hands further in than I'm used to would, for sure, mess with me.

Park makes a hacksaw blade for cutting CF.

A sharp, fine hacksaw blade does the job just as well. To be honest.
