I'd read all sorts of accounts about it and even seen photos demonstrating how, but I was still nervous about my first attempt to cold-set the rear triangle of an old bike. But, I did just what Sheldon said and despite the fear over wrestling with a lightweight frame and a big piece of lumber it turned out great; it was super easy. The string test showed I did a great job of keeping it symmetrical. The track ends weren't parallel to begin with from years of 120mm hubs being shoved into the frame's 110mm spacing, but the Park FFG-2 was easy to use and did an excellent job of getting them about as good as possible. Props to Park for a great tool.
