Forgive my ignorance, but does that mean just slowly bending the dropouts in until they are 120 apart? Cos thats pretty much what I'm doing when I put the wheel on...and when I remove the wheel it reverts to 130. Sheldon talks a lot about widening, but not so much on the narrowing. Does it just need to be done reeeeeally slowly?
Thanks for explaining the cartridge bearing hub thing Momentum, that makes sense now. Hopefully cold spacing the rear stays will be easier than getting as custom made axle!
