Originally would have had 120mm spaced wheels - these are 126mm. Is it fine to just tighten them and ride them? I was told that spacers would slip.
From this
It looks as though there are quite a lot of spacers on the axle, can you remove some to get back to 120mm? If not then I wouldn't see there being much issue with running them at 126 and spreading the frame slightly to fit them in.

So the frame is designed for 120mm spaced hub, you say you're running 126mm spaced, remove some spacers and get back to 120mm.

Front brake - no clearance for any of the calipers I have - any ideas?
No clearance for my mudguards is frustrating.
