Rear tire rubbing against frame
Hi all, I just got a triathlon bike, and while I was making some fit adjustments on the trainer, I smelled something awful. Turns out, the rear tire was rubbing against the frame. I was able to stop the rubbing by pulling the wheel bad a millimeters and tightening the QR, but I'm not certain that will hold during long rides. Any advice on "permanently" adjusting where the wheel sits?

The best idea I heard about is gluing a small piece of spoke in the drop out to take up the space. I cannot go larger than 25s because a 28 will rub on the rear brake pivot. Nothing I'm going to do-- I'll just have to be satisfied with a precision-made bike.
