New wheels and now cassette rubbing on frame

Just got some RS80 wheels and swapped over the cassette from the Aksiums. The cassette now rubs against the frame. I've tried fiddling with the axle to adjust it but to no avail. Do I need spacers between the locking nut and the nut that tightens the bearings to widen the gap or is there another solution?

    I reckon the first step would be to measure the locknut to locknut distance on your Aksium and compare it with your new wheel. Also the flange to flange distance on both wheels. You'll have an idea as to what needs to be done with your new wheel that way.

    They are Shamal Ultra clinchers and according to Campag website they are compatible with 11 speed drivetrains.

    Problem solved, Cassette lockring wasn't tight enough. :D
