Raleigh Twenty or something?
In my experience, forks that are that size usually aren't the sturdiest of things so there's no need for the threaded bar (not that I think this is a very good technique for cold setting anyway*) and you can usually manipulate them pretty easily without anything beyond maybe a firmly bolted down vice.
*I feel like cold setting often involves, as TooTallTim says, going beyond the point you want to be at to account for spring back. I like to 'feel' what the steel is doing which you don't get if you are using something to spread the ends like that.
Hi. Any tips for cold setting forks? I've got a weird set that are 80mm spacing (not squished - meant to be like this) and want to spread them to 100mm. @sacredhart had the useful advice to do it with threaded rod and nuts/washers, unwinding slowly. Any other tips for getting them straight / wheel well aligned etc?
