I'm having an issue with fitting a new front wheel to my front fork ends. The forks are about 1-2mm to narrow to properly accommodate the front hub. It's an older (70's Raleigh) so I'm guessing that's just how the spacing was for them back then. I can force the wheel in by bending them by hand slightly but i'm unsure of whether this is an acceptable thing to do. Sheldon Brown has a good article about spreading a frame.

would it be possible to apply this kind of idea to my forks? Has anyone tried it sucessfully? and if so how did you do it? thanks!
