Is there any risk of stressing/chipping a nice paint job due to the cold set? I mean, does the bending occur at a single point, or is it spread around. My gut thinks single point of greatest "weakness" sees the changes. So it is possible to chip paint over the "bent" area?

Secondly, has anyone experienced truly bad things spreading a 126 to 130. With horizontal (or semi Hz) dropouts, I seem to have a fair bit of adjustability to align the wheel even at 130. Just trying to sort out should do from must do, and assess risk to a nice paint job.

Would have started own thread, but there's been much hinting around at the above two points here...
