    Widen dropouts on Nirve Switchblade?

    Ok, I gave in and used the all thread method. I worked it slowly over three weeks and it came out perfectly even. I did have to stretch it a good 5/8" extra on each side before it would settle to exactly the right width. I let it sit at its maximum width for a full week. I am super stoked...

    I am trying to figure out the best way to widen the dropouts on my Nirve Switchblade (version 1 from 2007) . I'm looking at putting a sram G8 coaster on it. The hub is 135mm and the frame with no wheel on it is only 115mm inside the dropouts. I have seen a lot of switchblade's with hubs this...
