No way,I'd run that combo. You're going to have fun just getting the tires on. Made a similar mistake on my old 1X1 when I put 1.3" S-Licks on a set of Rhynolites.

I've got two BBU's;an '05 with narrow rims that came with 23's,and an '09 with wider rims that came with 28's. Guess which one rides better(and guess which one no longer wears the stock tires)?

The TdF roadies run skinny tires to shave weight and for aerodynamics. I think you'd really be happier with some 28-32mm sport rubber like Marathon Supremes or Randonneur Hypers.
