Hi...I'm quite new to cycling and ride a Bianchi Via Nirone.
I recently bought an ex-display Pro-Lite Espresso frame and forks with the intention of building a fast,light road bike. However; I just attached the wheels from my Bianchi and noticed that the rear dropouts are extremely small and struggle to hold the wheel spindles.
Just wondered if anyone alse has come across the same problem and whether I need to buy special (???) wheels to get a better fit??
Like I say; I'm new to cycling (even though I'm 40),and I'd be extremely grateful for any help possible!!
Thankyou

I've got an Espresso that I've used for a cheap TT build. Have used both Planet X Model Bs and Bontranger Racelights on the rear without any problems. However, wheel/frame clearances are very tight.0

Hiya Matt...it's not that the clearances are tight, but that the dropouts seem to small for the QR to grip solidly!!Make mine an Italian...with Campagnolo on the side!!0
