hey folks, still working on my pinarello. i was told i need to respace the frame to accomodate the newer sized hubs. the hubs are too big, but i can stretch the rear triange enought to make it fit. is this bad? should it be permanently spaced or can i get by with this?
thanks, matthew m ayres

If you can get the hub in there with a little force it should be ok. What is your current space and what is the new hub space?
