I have a frame whose rear drop out spacing is about an 1/8quot; smaller than the hub body that I want in thereI dont want to buy a new hub, or worse frameI have tried all-thread, nuts and washer rig to quot;spreadquot; the tubing but I get a spring back when I remove the rig to install the wheel.I have tried a car jack, heavy piece of cheater pipe to spread and pry.No luck with the spring back.Please help !! I can't be the only one that has this happen to them.
what is it made of? aluminum i would expect to not be permanently bendable steel maybe more so i don;t see what else you can do try spreading it if it doesn;t stay you are stuck i wouldn;t try heat it could unpredictably change the tubing characteristics wle.
