Dropout problem

[alin90xxl]

Hello guyz. I have a problem with my winter/commuter/cheap bike. It's a Bianchi flash, and it has horrizontal dropouts, also Quick realese. How can i make the wheel not to move in the dropouts when i put power on the pedals? Thank you!

Make sure the QR is a decent Shimano or Campagnolo one with the internal cam. The trick external cam ones are just not up to it. Then do it up TIGHT. If you don't get a dent in your hand when you tighten the QR it's too loose.

It's Shimano with internal cam. I'll try tighter. Thank you

You can also try replacing the serrated nuts on the end of the axle, or sharpen up the serrations with a file. They need to "bite" the frame dropouts well.

make sure the axle doesnt sit proud of the drop-outs when tightened up as this means the QR is bolting to the wheel rather than the frame.

Thank you all for the replys. I fixed it, the serrations from the QR didn't bite well.

Whats the wheels/hubs? Can you not just replace the QR axle with a solid one and bolt it on
