Slight topic hijack with a reverse of the original question.
Looking at buying a road bike that was originally fitted with a 6spd freewheel, so I presume 126mm spacing ? Seller claims he fitted a wheel in with a 9spd cassette without "modifying" the bike. Presuming the 9spd wheel is 130mm spacing, has he just pushed the stays out by putting the 130mm wheel in ?
If I bought it and wanted to go back to an original 6spd freewheel with 126mm spacing, would I need the frame coldset ? Or can I just put a 126mm wheel in and make sure the QR is done up tightly ?
