Hey Everyone,
New to posting on this site but I'll try to be as specific as possible. I just got an 84 univega gran rally frameset on ebay and inherited a forte titan rear wheel. I was just trying to dryfit the wheel in the rear drops and found it was really snug in the frame spacing and also wouldn't fit at all through the dropouts.

After a little research I found that frame spacing is easy to adjust and I can stretch the spacing a little (the frame is ~125/6 mm and the wheel is 130). The main problem is that the axle won't fit into the dropouts. I've seen some others on the site that have rasped/filed/ground out the droupouts but it doesn't seem to be the definitive answer.

Is there a different wheelset I should be looking at? Is grinding the dropouts really the best solution? Axle diameters don't seem to ever be in the specs when looking at wheels online.

Thanks!
Evan
