Hey, I've got problem with putting the modern wheels on my Peugeot 87' road bike. It's cold set for 130mm from 126mm, and I was already riding the whole season with 130mm hub wheels last year with no problem, but I bought new wheelset (Vision Team 35 Comp SL), and the problem is that the axle of the rear wheel just protrudes out of the dropouts, and I can't clamp down the QR. Is there any way to make it work with modern wheels and stamped dropouts? Guy in LBS told me that I just need to put some washers between the QR and dropouts but I don't know how safe is that idea. Also the front wheel gets in without any problem, it just sits like it should be.
