Unlike Robbie, I wasn't able to squeeze a 130mm hub in the Schwinn Super Sport frame pictured in this thread back in late October. The rear stays were just too rigid. So I cold set the frame using the threaded rod method that can be seen on "RJ the Bike Guy's" YouTube channel. I feel this is more gentle and safer than the old Sheldon Brown 2x4 lumber lever method.
