i may not have used the correct terminology initially, i'm not looking to cold-set the frame into a 130mm, i'm just talking about spreading (or "spring" as FBinNY said) the stays by hand and putting the wheel in. it's only 2mm on each side, but i didn't know if having the stays under that constant little bit of stress was a problem.

it sounds like that shouldn't be a problem though, and i have put the wheel in and out as i am building up the frame, it's not as nice as just sliding right in, but the stays have enough flex that i can do it fairly easily.

i would just re-space and re-dish the wheel if i could, but it's a newer wheel (spinergy) with proprietary parts. it's not like the good ol' days where i could just source a shorter axle and thinner spacers.
