I'd like to go to a wider wheelset, but I'm concerned frame and fork clearance of the Trek 2.3 won't allow anything wider than a 23mm tire with on 23mm rim.
PedroS,
I have tried 25mm tires (Continental GP4000) with my 23mm wide wheelset and have had rear brake/caliper clearance issues. It's very tight in there and the spring in the brake will rub the tire if the caliper is not perfectly center. Using 23mm Pro 4s now and love the setup. You will not have issues in the front.
