Subject: Cold setting rear triangle in steel bike
Title says it all...How do I cold set the rear spacing on a Reynolds
531 road frame with original Shimano 600 6-speed cog so that it fits a
9-speed Shimano Ultegra cog?

BB out, BB shell into vice..measure rear triangle alignment..if
perfect, gently persuade each dropout 2mm(assuming it's 126, want
130mm)..check alignment of dropouts with appropriate dropout tool,
check rear triangle alignment again, done.
