It's not gonna affect for the next person if I'd sell the wheels?
I'm already making a lot of changes with this bike and slowly starting to lose hope for anything to work out straight away. I'll probably look for some grip washers and try them out. -
Could it be due to the frame out of alignment or bent dropouts? Sometimes when I install the wheel it's seems off on the top by looking at the mouting hole for brake calipers. Also do I need to pull the wheel all the way back in the dropouts?

I've already tried the original ones that comes with the wheels, the old ones, also I bought some old Shimano steel ones with enclosed cam, but still the wheel just shifts in the dropouts. The bike comes originally with some plastic inserts to the dropouts, I don't know if I should use them, but with the new wheels it's get stuck with the hub so I guess not.

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.

Little update, I've tried to fit the 25mm seatpost from other bike, no luck with that even after opening up the slot with screwdriver. Still the both of 24mm seatpost just having a gap around the tube. I think there is no different seatpost size between 24 and 25mm?

If it's already deformed by using wrong seatpost, it can be fixed to slide the bigger seatpost or not?

I've tried with other 25.4 seatpost but it doesn't fit at all even with the slot opened up with screwdriver when the slot lines is parallel, maybe it's like 24. something or 25mm size? I've ordered the 24mm seatpost for Peugeots when I didn't check if the frame is pinching down, because the original one that came with the bike was also 24mm. All information that I readed online about Peugeot size from 80's low tier bikes is 24mm. I need to find some 25mm post and try with it maybe.
Today I found out also that spacing between smallest cog and frame is really tight, I don't know why thought. I've checked again the spacing of the dropouts and it's 130mm. I'm using 8 speed cassette on 11 speed hub with 1.85mm spacer under the cassette.
