Cutting mudguard stsys

Dremel, round off with a file for safety in a crash, and cover with supplied plastic caps.

Cutting with a (mini) hacksaw (8 max) mudguard stays will hardly take 'ages' and probably less than typing and reading these messages. Last time I did it, I only needed to trim front 4.

A faster way to hacksaw stainless is to saw undeep diametrical grooves in it, then with the grooves serving as both beginning and right location, bend bend bend bend and it breaks, saving a big part of the Saws Intensive Manual Labor.
Works less fast on non stainless because not as quickly fatigued.

Bolt croppers are the tool of choice in bike shop workshops. The flying offcut projectiles have enough energy to break a window or stick in a ceiling.

In the absence if the appropriate tools, simply bending the excess end downwards at a right angle is also a valid solution. And probably the fastest.
