As of 11:15 pm it hasn't gone back again. (approximately 3 hours after the wheel was removed).
Assuming it stays this time around, I have apparently bent it past the point at which it would be inclined to go back.
One though I've had is the butterfly brake bridge and stabilizer at the bottom or the rear triangle (also a butterfly shape) may have contributed a bit to my troubles in bending it before. But then... they can't be doing much more than the standard bar type ones. People cold set those all the time. Soooo.... I have no clue what happened the first time around.
Maybe you just forgot to measure twice..... it will only spring back to the original spacing if you never went past the rear triangle's tubes yeild point, and springing back would be pretty much instant, if it did spring back......unless you have a C&Ver ghost messing around with you........
