I have the same issue on my Dawes Galaxy. I ended up installing a flat washer on each side of the axle, then a toothed washer next to each dropout. It's cheesy, but it works. I'm hesitant to grind the axles, as the hubs are Campy Record high flange and I may not keep them on this bike- the DO's on the Dawes are thin and flimsy compared to my Paramount and Cinelli SC. However, I still like the Dawes alot- it's my "truck" for going to the store, etc.
