Rather than screwing up the geometry of your bike with an inappropriate wheelset, why not just sell that bike on craigslist and buy the Mercier Kilo WT, which is actually designed for wider tires?

The difference between the cost of a new wheelset and your bike's resale value and the cost of a Kilo WT should be pretty minimal.

Wouldn't a 650c track/fixed wheelset make better sense for urban commuting? It would wind up quicker and there would be more clearance for fat ass tires like 32s or 35?
Help please!
