My old Peugeot frame broke unfortunately so I bought a new (to me) one and am in the process of moving all the components over. Unfortunately, I have discovered that the old frame must have been forced wider at the rear dropouts at some point; the conversion wasn't done by myself. The old frame has 130 mm rear dropouts, the new one 120 mm. The wheel therefore doesn't fit. Is there some way I can remove some of the nuts or other bits of the rear wheel to get it to fit? In particular, I'm looking at the part with a red arrow in the image -- if I removed this but added a smaller washer it would fit (and the chainline looks good). Is this possible?

Thanks. I'll double check the width when I get home this evening, but I'm fairly certain; it looks 1 cm out at any rate. I'm not that keen to cold set the frame because I may well buy a new wheel at some point soon at which point I'd buy 120 mm (assuming that's what it is). Just seeing if there's anything I can do to correctly space the wheel whilst I save up for a new one!
