Not another "cold setting a rear triangle" thread.
Yes, another one.
I decided that I'm gonna finally cold set the rear triangle on a bike that I've been jammimg the wheel into for about two years. Why? Just because.
I've read and reread sheldon Brown's method. It just doesn't seem like a good way to do it. I feel his way puts a lot of stress on the top and down tube. I'm considering removing the BB and clamping the shell to my work bench. Then use a hunk of lumber with one end on the bench as far under the seat tube as possible and flexing the seatstay/chainstay/dropout upward. The only downside is maybe not being able to clamp it tight enough.
Any thoughts?
