Hacksaw, bastard file and sandpaper worked for me.

I think I picked up that tip from Russ at Path Less Pedaled.

I have about 1 cm too long fender struts, may just leave them alone.
For cutting small round stock without a hacksaw, put in the crease of a
large book - that unused encyclopedia - place book on solid surface, place
foot upon book to anchor book and secure smal
Oh for crying out loud and Pete's sake (little inside joke there), I have a
pipe cutter! I totally forgot I owned this tool. Thanks David!

Pipe cutter does a clean job with no mess.

I think I'm gong to go with Alex's bolt cutters idea. Unless I run out to
get a portable bandsaw and a belt sander to cut two struts. Could happen! 😂

I use a portable bandsaw mounted in a SWAG OFF ROAD stand and a belt sander to
clean it up.
Any other way is just pure hackery- :)

To add a couple more cents, regarding grinding dust- most abrasive cutters
like grinding wheels on dremels and larger hand grinders are made to cut
iron and most all ferrous stuff. If one uses the cutter on aluminum or
brass, the "pores" of the wheel will clog with those softer stickier dusts

No fumes/grinding dust contaminating your
I used to use a dremel of hacksaw, but a few years ago I bought a cheap
angle grinder at Harbor Freight, and it is awesome for this sort of thing.
I don't think I've touched my hacksaw since then.

I just cut some stays on another rack with a hacksaw. I don’t have a vice so I
held the stay down on my bench and went at it. Not optimal but it worked. I do
need a vice here. Next time I’ll likely use a Dremel.

Whelp, I have this shiny new RBW51 rack with way-long stays and I can't get
the search feature here to work so how do I cut these suckers?
