I've replaced the wheel on a friend's bike and had to cold set the frame and respace the rear hub to fit.

Now the axle is too long for the QR to close properly, it is closing on the axle rather than the dropout so the wheel slips.

Spacers on the outside of the dropout, or hacksaw to the axle?

Think I might have this on my bike. How do you diagnose closing on the axle?

You can generally see that the axle is flush with the dropout or slightly protruding, it needs to be recessed in the dropout. Especially if you remove the QR and place the wheel in the dropouts.
