Hello.
Havin a bit hard to express myself /Swede), but I need to make the frame wider for my new rear wheel.
How do u think I should do it?
Should i cut the thing and add a bit, or should I just try do bend it apart and withen the parts where I attach the wheel?

I show pics so U can understand.

I did mine two ways on two different bikes
1. move the rear dropouts farther back to clear the chain stays, the Black one is where I moved it back to clear the wider tires

2. cut and widen the narrow part by adding material. Added 2 Inches...

There are alternative methods for some applications, but I think this is the only one suitable for your particular situation.

Kinda need a side shot to tell if that is what its going to take. Looks kinda busy in or on the chain stay.
