I have this question that is hanging in my mind, I have read in one of the thread that guys have spread there rear triangle to take from 7 speed to a 10 speed cogs, my position on this is that there is no need to spread the rear triangle just for the bike to take the 10 speed cogs, the frame with a 7 speed cogset can take a 10 speed cogs, no doubt, because what is shrinking is the lenght of the hubs and not the other way around.
Now if you spread a steel cromoly frame will it damage the integrity of the steel frame, ditto to Titanium or aluminum frame, but why will you spread a Ti and an Aluminum considering the dollar you have spent fot the frame, if the life span of the frame will be compromise, and if the frame is under warranty I am certain that it will lose its warranty, Just asking please engligthen me on this one???,
