The wheels on the Trek are visibly narrower than the Raleigh's and are fitted with Bontrager 27 X 1 1/8" tires. I would like to find a narrower set of wheels for the Raleigh (actually my son would like a narrower set) but don't know what to look for. I'm not comfortable trying to fit the Bontragers on the Araya rims because they just seem too wide for the tire.

Any suggestions?
