At a local bolt supplier, the hardware for the cold-set fixture cost me
$2.60. I was able to borrow good digital calipers from work. If you try
to do this, one thing to remember - once you get to plastic - a measurable
permanent set - all additional spread will also be plastic (permanent) and

Congratulations on your beautiful bike! I just bought a Soma San Marcos
51cm for my girlfriend as a christmas gift, so I have hands-on experience
on this frame.
*Brake reach*:
What size is your San Marcos frame? The brake reach is specific to the
size, and Tiagra sidepulls may, or may not fit.
What Tim said. I have a 135 hub in my 130 spaced custom Riv. Didn't
bother re-spacing. Works fine. Contrary to my prior post, I actually
don't have to pull very hard. Just moderate effort.

absolutely agree you can elastically spread your rear triangles that far
without concern - my daughter's 126mm Fuji is running 130mm 9-speed rear
axle - we even changed a flat on the trail - no worries.
On my old Raleigh, though, the triangles were stiff enough that it is
pretty taxing to
My San Marcos is a 59cm. Frame looks awesome. I wasn't looking for a new
bike, but the wife got this used in brand new shape. I have a few other
bikes including a Homer, Betty and an old 60's steel. Originally, I was
just gonna sell this San Marcos. Decided may be to build it up if I can

Thanks to all who have chimed in and helped about the rear spacing issue. I
will try and force the wheelset in and see what happens and go from there.

The San Marcos has a very stiff rear triangle. I tried to cold set it to
132 with my bare hands and it didn't budge.
I have turned 135 hubs to 130 by swapping to a wheels manf shorter axle,
removing spacers and redishing. It is pretty easy on older hubs but harder
with the current MTB hubs
Peter I have a lightly used 11-34t 9 speed cassette I could let go of for
10 bucks plus shipping, I think it will ship via small flat rate so about
$6. Contact me at ryansub...@gmail.com if that works for you.

In that situation I would respace the San Marcos to be 135mm. The only
reason I have two bikes that can share wheels is because I cold set one of
them to match the other.

Cold set is a fancy way of saying bend it. Here's Sheldon Brown:

I cold-set my old bike the other night, though just from 122 to 126mm, and
it came out great. You need 3/8 all-thread, 2 nuts, 4 1-inch washers, and
very good calipers. A pair of 9/16 box-end wrenches are fantastic, since
you can hang them on the fixture. You have to spread it, then relax it
here you go

Next time I'll do it your way. I just squeezed the rear triangle down from
126 to 120 with my hands. I may have used a giant adjustable wrench to make
the dropouts parallel again.

Philip, what I did was use an extra set of nuts and washers on the outside
to squeeze the dropouts parallel - as I tightened it on the outside, I
gradually loosened the inside, and went back and forth a few steps - my
dropouts came out parallel.

here's what I got out of it - converted an old 5-speed rear to a 7-speed
rear (though I had been running an Ultra-6)
