Rear Wheel issues.
Today, I noticed that the rear axel (the silver part, is that what it is called?) is wider than the rear dropout.
As a result, my skewer is not flat on the bike, leading the wheel to wobble a little.
How do I fix this? Would it be appropriate to put a few washers between the dropout and the hub?
The bike is a '10 CAAD9 and the wheel is a '12 Ksyrium Elite.
Thanks.

Before you take that wheel back, put the mavic skewers in and try that. I dont know what kind of skewer you have and it *shouldn't* matter...

Problem fixed!
I went back and looked at the Mavic skewers. I had missed a black washer like thing when I was moving these wheels from another bike.
Thanks for the help.
