CT Cyclist drill a 1" diameter hole in a 2x4 cut the 2x4 in half, right through the hole That half-hole is the cradle for one side of one chainstay Find some hard thing that you want to press into the inside surface of that one chainstay Clamp the crap out of your sandwich hard thing -- inside of chainstay -- outside of chainstay -- cradle Repeat on the other chainstay
I usually have a spare rear hub clamped at the dropouts so I feel better about not accidentally respacing my rear end while I'm doing it The crankset and front derailer are off when you are doing all this I sometimes wrap the chainstay with gaffer tape to try to protect the finish a bit The "hard thing" you choose to press into your chainstay is kind of important. If your hard thing is too flat, then you are pressing too large an area on the chainstay and it's really hard to squish it. You want to focus onto a small enough area that you can depress it a few mm.
