i have a 69 raleigh grand prix that has a tubular wheelset from 1970 normandy hubs mavic rims atom qr .someone is interested in the bike but he wants clincher rims.i have a spare wheelset but the axle is too big for front drop out as well as just a touch wide forks will spread though.. i noticed the axle on
   the tubular front has a flat that is the only place it will slip into dropout.i didn't know there were different size axles (or dropouts}are there?.i didnt try the rear clincher but it has a six spd freewheel wereas the tubular rear is a 5spd.are there different length axle and nut combinations to adjust for rear spacing or even front fork spacing?thanks kevin ruberg howell n.j. p.s it has a campy valentino rear der. will that shift 6 cogs?
