Hi to all of you Cycleologists. Has anyone had the experience of needing a steel frame (Columbus Tubing) widening,but after it has been painted - indeed it has been stove enamelled. The frame is currently set for a 125mm axle and I am looking to increase it to accommodate a 130mm axle.
The frame has horizontal drop-out and whilst I can spring a 130mm axle into the frame,it is detrimental to the painted finish on the drop-outs.
My reasoning behind opening it out is to be able to accommodate an 8,9 or 10spd cassette.
