i just got a pair of spinergy spox with the carbon spokes and carbon hubs.(700c)well they seem awfully skinny,i mean way more than normal.it looks like you could only run a 700x19 or 700x23 tire on it.i put the rims on my trek x/o city bike and wanted to run a 700x32 or similar and don't now know if it will fit.what's up?

Rims for a racing bike aren't meant for hybrid tires. I run 700c X 20 Panaracers on my Spinergy Xaero-X rims. The whole reason to go light and fast with your wheels is to go light and fast. I wouldn't trust anything wider than a 25 on that rim, and that might be pushing things.
