Chain Rub

I just recently changed the chain on my 2001 bianchi eros. The drivetrain is Campy mirage 9 speed, the old chain was a "Z" (I believe), and the new chain is a SRAM 9 speed. Since I put the new chain on, I noticed the paint was scraped down to the metal on the driveside seatstay. In the meantime, I have stopped using my smallest cog (the only position where it could possibly rub). Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem?

Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

Maybe the wheel isn't fully seated in the dropouts. That happened to me once, but I caught it before I rode anywhere. It felt nice & snug, but the axle just hadn't gone all the way.

It sounds like you might need your wheel spaced a little more on the drive side to move the cassette a little further inboard. Or it might be installed wonky, as Barracks suggested. Check it out - it would be pretty easy to pop another spacer on the drive side if need be, and you might not even have to redish.
