So long as the frame is steel you should be able to cold set it. You get a much better choice with track standards. Nice for an everyday fix would be Phil Woods but they're pricey.

if you are worried about cold setting the frame just get 6 mm worth of washers and place 3mm on each side of the axels when you put the wheel into the frame.

cold setting's surprisingly simple. i implemented a nice piece of 2"x3", and some brute strength; worked a treat. sheldon brown (as always) has some simple instructions: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html

i recentl;y had a build where i had 126mm rear drops and a campy record hub 120mm a couple of washers / spacers and all went in perfectly 6mm isn't a huge amount i believe 3mm each side if my maths is correct rear triangles will easily squeeze that small amount

hi there! this is the first time i post something here. i would appreciate any help.
i bought a Raleigh mercury and i'm thinking about giving a go with a fixed/free wheel. i thinking about converting it but i'm not sure about the hubs.
the spacing is 126mm in the back and 95mm in the front. i was told i can squeeze a 120mm in the back and open the forks a bit to use a 100mm.
i was wondering if anyone have done that or if that is the best thing to do. i found some 126mm flip-flop on the net but no 95mm.
i would prefer buying them in shop anyway. any suggestions?
