Thanks for posting this. I need to widen an old Varsity to 100mm. It's currently at 92, not sure what the factory spec says it is supposed to be.
Your video gives me the courage to try it.
Thank you. ‘Old school’ at its best !!
+Raymond Henry thanks for checking out my video ✌️
This video helped me convert my 20" tilt120 folding bike to electric. I got a front wheel e-kit which required a fork gap of 100mm but my bike had only 80mm. As my fork was of hi-ten steel I could stretch it. So I used a threaded bar, 2 nuts n 2 washers and could spread the fork n got my e-bike ready.
I’m glad it helped you out 👍. Sounds like a cool project! Thanks for watching ✌️
Good video. I'm going to make my old Raleigh bike fork from about 87 up to 100mm. Also have to file the dropouts to fit the larger axle diameter too. I just bought 6" of rod to make the tool. Good to see it was so easy for you.
Good luck! Thanks for watching 👍
Boom!
this is the exact problem Im dealing with rn, thank you alot

What grade of steel was that fork? Did you re-align the dropouts back to parallel? Thanks for the video.
I'm not sure about the grade... this fork is so soft I'm realized after I could stretch it with literally two fingers. Yes, I played with dropout alignment a bit after but just by eye. If I update anything else on this bike it will probably be the fork. Thanks for watching!
I would like to know if it's possible to cold set a rear 135mm spaced frame to a 110mm?
On a steel frame? 100%
My idea was to use 2 ratchet straps one on the seat stay & one on the chain stay and gradually tighten. I would like to know how you would go about it. Maybe a new video?
