I still can’t imagine someone forcing a 10 speed (130mm) or 11 speed (131mm) wheel into 126mm dropouts and not having to do some alignment.

The exception everyone took to what I said was that spreading/cold setting of the frame should be done. I haven’t worked in a shop, but I can’t image a bike mechanic just shoving a wheel in and handing it back to a customer with a bill.

I’ll stand by what I said.
