I have an Oval Master which has horizonal dropouts. When I take off from a stop or torque the bike to hard the wheel tends to slip in the drop outs and rubs against the left chain stay. I have cleaned the dropout throughly to make sure there is no grease or anything slick on them, and have been tightening my quick release alot tighter than I do on any of my other bikes. This has reduced the occurances quit a bit but not completely. (Well I have had no problems with my ultegra hubbed wheel since cleaning the drop outs, but my VeloMax still slips.) Has any one else experienced this and are there any ideas? Thanks, Tom
