there's a local 10x who is running some new Answer CF bars. They are the right height for him but they are too wide.

Anybody got some advice for cutting them down?????

I was told by a teammate that J&R has cut several prs down without problems. The same teammate cut theirs down as well without problems. You have to use a sharp hacksaw & go slow avoid the fraying. It does void the warranty on them tho.

Also go halfway through, then flip them and go the other half. If you go straight through you can fray the fibers at the end, and that is bad.
