It seems to me that this would be a lot easier, and you would not have to cold set the frame because it is not all that hard to spread the dropouts that much.
You could split the difference with a 128mm frame but if you were to do that why bother spacing the hub down? Honestly, if I had a 128mm frame I'd leave the 130mm hub as is. From what I've read in these pages Cannondale designed their early 8-speeds frames with 128mm spacing so they could be used with eith 126 or 130mm hubs.
The intent of this thread was to see if 10 speeds with 126mm and acceptable dish was feasable. Nothing more, nothing less.
