I've heard people say this bugloss, but always been to scared to try it myself. I'll ask about.
Really Big Steel Colnago Frame
- Thread starter Rolling Thunder
- Start date
A rear hub spaced at 130 can not be respaced to 126 if the hub is for 8 or more speed cassettes because you need extra room for those extra gears.
BTW I had a frame with 126 spacing that could not be cold set because it was titanium. I rode it with 9 speed dura-ace for 10 years and the only problem was changing flats on the side of the road. It was a bit of a trick getting the rear mech out of the way and spreading the stays and holding the bike up at the same time. You needed three hands.

Thanks Lewisfoto.
I'm considering cold-setting a 126 up to a 130 if I can't get my hands on a large 130.

I checked it out. It looks just the ticket, so I joined Markplaats! I sent the gentleman an email; in English....my Dutch is...as good as my Serbo-Croat!
I asked him how long the head tube was, and he sent me top tube measurements!
