Message: >Hello, I have a 126mm spaced 531 Dawes Galaxy frame that I am very much attached to, however I would like to stick a modern drivetrain on it. Is it safe and a reasonable proposition to have the stays spread from 126mm to 135mm by having a good bike shop cold setting it, or is the degree of spread too extreme? thanks Hi, I had a 120 spaced 531 frame spaced out to 126, with dropouts re-aligned. There's been no problems with it.
