Even if you have this down, I struggle with this. For one, it doesn't work on the bikes where I put a 130mm hub into 126mm-spaced frame...sure, I could cold-set but I'd like not to have to cold-set just for this reason.
Even my newly-acquired 126mm Trek 950 frame needs to have its dropouts slightly stretched to put the 126mm hub in. For whatever reason the dropouts measure like 124/125mm.
